Search flights from VDS to BJF
Varangerfjord
Clear views of the expansive fjord waters separating the peninsula from the mainland.
Varangerhalvøya National Park
The edge of Norway's largest national park, featuring rugged coastal cliffs and rare bird life.
Båtsfjord Entrance
The dramatic approach into one of Norway's most important fishing ports nestled in a deep valley.
Barents Sea
The endless horizon of the Arctic Ocean visible as the aircraft crosses the peninsula northward.
The right side is superior for the arrival phase, as the plane usually banks to line up with the Båtsfjord valley. Between May and July, the Midnight Sun ensures perfect visibility even on late-night hops. Sit near the front to avoid the propeller glare on Widerøe Dash 8 aircraft.

Vadsø Town
Aerial view of the administrative center of Finnmark and its historic airship mast.
Varangerhalvøya Plateau
A vast, treeless subarctic mountain plateau showing the unique tundra landscape.
Arctic Wilderness
Vast stretches of uninhabited land where reindeer herds are often visible from low altitude.
Glacial Landforms
U-shaped valleys and rocky outcrops carved by ancient glacial movements.
Sit on the left for a better view of the interior's vastness. In winter, the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows across the snow-covered tundra. This flight is very short (15-20 minutes), so keep your camera ready from takeoff.
