Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Kristiansund Airport (Kvernberget) (Kristiansund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to Norway's most iconic fjords, glaciers, and the dramatic Sunnmøre Alps throughout the entire flight.
Hardangerfjord
Views of the massive fjord system and the dramatic plateau leading into the interior.
Folgefonna Glacier
The sparkling white ice cap of Norway's third-largest glacier is often visible on clear days.
Bergen from Above
Pass just east of the city, offering views of Mount Ulriken and the Seven Mountains.
Sunnmøre Alps
The most dramatic part of the flight, featuring jagged peaks rising 1,500 meters directly from the fjords.
Sognefjord Mouth
Cross the entrance of the world's longest ice-free fjord, stretching 205km inland.
This is the premier side for photography. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting on the mountains. Be ready immediately after takeoff from Stavanger for views of the Ryfylke region.
North Sea Horizon
Vast, sweeping views of the Atlantic where the deep blue meets the sky.
Karmøy & Utsira
Bird's-eye view of the outer archipelago and the historic island of Utsira.
Grip Village
A tiny, isolated fishing community on an island cluster visible during the final descent into Kristiansund.
Coastal Shipping Lanes
Watch for the Hurtigruten and large cargo ships navigating the inner lead of the coast.
Sit here during evening flights for breathtaking sunset views over the North Sea. It is also the better side for spotting offshore oil installations and flares on clear nights.
