SVJ → SKN
Which side of the plane to sit from Svolvær Helle Airport (Svolvær) to Stokmarknes Skagen Airport (Stokmarknes)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer world-class scenery, the Right Side provides a direct look into the dramatic Raftsundet strait and the towering Møysalen massif, the highest peak in the region.

Raftsundet Strait
The 25km long narrow strait that serves as the border between Lofoten and Vesterålen.
Møysalen National Park
View the majestic Møysalen peak, rising 1,262 meters directly from the sea.
Trollfjord Mouth
The entrance to the legendary and extremely narrow Trollfjord, often visible near the Raftsundet crossing.
Hadsel Bridge
The iconic cantilever bridge connecting Langøya and Hadseløya visible just before touchdown.
The flight is extremely short (approx. 20 minutes), so keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. For the best chance to see the entrance to Trollfjord, keep a sharp eye out shortly after departing Svolvær. In winter, this side offers the best chance to spot the Northern Lights over the mainland mountains.

The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Lofoten archipelago stretching toward the horizon.
Vesterålsfjorden
The deep blue waters of the fjord system that separates the islands of Lofoten and Vesterålen.
Hadseløya Coastline
The rugged western shore of Hadseløya as the plane aligns for its approach into Stokmarknes.
Sit on the left for sweeping views of the 'Lofoten Wall' and the open sea. This side is particularly stunning during the Golden Hour in summer when the low sun illuminates the western faces of the granite peaks.
