Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Curonian Spit during departure, the vast Swedish lake district, and the most dramatic mountain vistas when crossing the Hardangervidda plateau into Bergen.
Curonian Spit
The stunning 98km long thin sand-dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Lake Vänern
A bird's eye view of the largest lake in the European Union, appearing like an inland sea in Sweden.
Värmland Forests
Dense, endless expanses of Scandinavian boreal forest stretching toward the horizon.
Folgefonna Glacier
Glistening white ice caps of Norway's third-largest glacier visible during the mountain crossing.
Bergen Archipelago
Intricate network of islands, bridges, and coastal settlements during the final approach to Flesland.
The right side is essential for seeing the Curonian Spit shortly after departure from Lithuania. In winter, choose this side for the best views of the snow-capped Norwegian interior. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure the landing gear or wing doesn't obstruct the view of the Norwegian peaks.
Vilnius Old Town
Aerial views of the red-roofed UNESCO heritage site and the Neris River shortly after takeoff.
Baltic Sea Horizon
A long, serene stretch over the deep blue waters separating the Baltics from Scandinavia.
Gothenburg Region
Views of the Swedish west coast and the rugged Bohuslän archipelago as you cross into the Skagerrak.
Hardangerfjord
The southern edges of one of Norway's most famous and dramatic fjords during the descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is excellent for viewing the southern Norwegian coastline if the flight path follows a more southerly vector across the North Sea.
