Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Stord Airport (Stord)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the North Sea coast to the deep fjords and alpine peaks of the Ryfylke region.
Stavanger Cityscape
Aerial views of the 'Oil Capital' including the harbor, old town, and Gandsfjorden.
Ryfylke Mountains
Stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys stretching toward the interior.
Stavanger Bridges
The impressive infrastructure connecting the city to the islands of Hundvåg and beyond.
Boknafjorden
One of Norway's widest fjords, dotted with lush green islands like Rennesøy and Finnøy.
Hardangerfjord Entrance
Views toward the mouth of the iconic Hardangerfjord and the mountains of Tysnes.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the mountain faces. Watch for the dramatic contrast between the deep blue fjord water and the steep granite cliffs. On clear days, you may even spot the distant Preikestolen plateau or the Folgefonna glacier further north.
North Sea Horizon
Unobstructed views of the vast North Sea and the rugged coastline of Western Norway.
Kvitsøy Archipelago
A cluster of small islands and skerries north of Stavanger featuring a historic lighthouse.
Bømlo Islands
A complex network of thousands of islands and narrow channels as you approach Stord.
Haugalandet Coast
The western fringe of the mainland featuring coastal settlements and rocky shores.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the sun reflecting off the North Sea. During winter, look for the powerful Atlantic swells hitting the outer reefs. Use binoculars to spot the remote island of Utsira on very clear days.
