The takeoff view from the right side is exceptional and unique—the Lofoten Islands' dramatic peaks are a signature feature of northern Norway that cannot be replicated on the left. The landing view is comparable on both sides depending on runway direction, but the takeoff advantage makes right the overall winner.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Norwegian Sea southbound, passing west of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Notable features include the Trøndelag coast (around 1 hour into flight), the transition from Norwegian fjord terrain to Swedish forests and lakes, and the approach to the Kattegat strait separating Denmark from Sweden. At cruise altitude (around 25,000-28,000 feet), individual landmarks become small, but the broad geography of the Scandinavian Peninsula's western edge and the transition to Denmark's flat terrain are visible on clear days.
