Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a premier view of the Norwegian coastline and the iconic Lofoten archipelago, which is widely considered one of the most scenic flight views in Northern Europe.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Helgeland Archipelago

A vast network of over 6,000 islands and islets dotting the turquoise coastal waters.

🏔️

Lofoten Wall

The dramatic granite peaks of the Lofoten islands rising directly out of the Norwegian Sea.

🌊

Vestfjorden

The wide fjord separating the Lofoten islands from the mainland, often clear and deep blue.

🏖️

Vesterålen Islands

Rugged mountains interspersed with hidden white sand beaches and emerald green coves.

Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Lofoten wall, which appears about 40-50 minutes into the flight. In summer, the midnight sun ensures views 24/7, while in winter, look for the aurora borealis over the sea. This side provides better photography lighting during afternoon flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
❄️

Svartisen Glacier

Norway's second-largest glacier, featuring stunning blue ice visible near the Arctic Circle.

⛰️

Saltfjellet Mountains

High alpine plateaus and jagged peaks that define the border between Helgeland and Salten.

🏙️

Bodø and Saltstraumen

View of the northern city and the world's strongest tidal current nearby.

🏔️

Lyngen Alps

The spectacular, pointed peaks of the Lyngen peninsula appearing during the descent into Tromsø.

This side is superior for mountain and glacier enthusiasts. Watch for the Svartisen glacier shortly after crossing the Arctic Circle. During the final descent into TOS, the right side often gets a closer view of the mainland fjords and the Lyngen Alps. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the inland mountain ranges.
