Which side of the plane to sit from Tromsø Airport, (Tromso) to Banak Airport (Lakselv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high-altitude glaciers and the most dramatic sections of the Lyngen Alps, followed by the vast, colorful expanse of the Finnmark plateau.
Jiehkkevárri Massif
The highest peak in Troms, featuring massive ice caps and vertical rock faces that dominate the horizon.
Koppangsbreen Glacier
Stunning blue-tinted hanging glaciers visible as you cross the heart of the Lyngen Alps.
Finnmarksvidda
The immense, desolate beauty of the mountain plateau, which transforms into a golden-orange canvas in autumn.
Stabbursdalen
The world's northernmost pine forest, visible in the valley just before touchdown at Banak.
This side provides the most dramatic mountain scenery. Watch closely about 10-15 minutes after takeoff from Tromsø for the best glacier views. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for reindeer herds on the plateau during the spring migration.
Ullsfjorden
A deep, sapphire fjord stretching north toward the open Arctic Ocean immediately after takeoff.
Northern Lyngen Alps
The jagged northern peaks of the Lyngen peninsula as they taper down toward the sea.
Arnøya and Laukøya
Dramatic, isolated islands that represent the rugged outer edge of the Norwegian coastline.
Porsangerfjorden
One of Norway's longest fjords, visible as you begin the final descent toward Lakselv.
Sit on the left for coastal vistas and the chance to see the Midnight Sun over the ocean during summer months. In winter, this side faces the open northern sky, which is ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis during night flights.
