When taking off from Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Bergen Flesland's primary runways (08/26) mean most departures head northeast or southwest. A left-side seat gives you the best views of the fjord system—Byfjorden and the surrounding archipelago—as you climb out. The dramatic coastal geography with islands and water features is far more visually interesting than the inland terrain to the right. Notable sights include: Byfjorden (immediately below during initial climb), Sotra Island (to the northwest), Flesland Peninsula, scattered skerries and small islands dotting the fjord.

When landing at Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Bergen Flesland's primary runway (15/33) typically uses runway 15 for landing when winds permit, meaning final approach comes from the south over Byfjorden. The right side offers clear views of the fjord system, surrounding islands, and the city of Bergen itself as you descend. The left side faces inland terrain with less distinctive visual interest during the critical approach phase. Notable sights include: Byfjorden (inner fjord), Sotra Island to the west, Flesland peninsula, Bergen city skyline and harbor.

The best window seat at Bergen Flesland (BGO) depends on several factors: the typical runway used for your departure or arrival, the geographic features around Bergen (mountains, coastlines, city skylines), weather conditions, and time of day. Morning and evening flights often offer the best lighting for scenic views.
