Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Bergen. The right side wins overall. While the left side has the Paris departure advantage, the right side captures the dramatic Norwegian fjord coastline on descent which is the visual highlight of the route. During the cruise over the North Sea the right side also faces toward the Danish and southern Norwegian coastline as the flight tracks northeast, offering occasional glimpses of the Jutland peninsula and Skagerrak strait.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically departs northeast on runways 09L/09R or north on 27R/27L depending on wind. On a northeast departure toward Scandinavia, the left side gives views over central Paris including the Seine river bends, the Eiffel Tower area, and the dense Haussmann grid of the city. The right side faces toward the flat Ile-de-France agricultural plains with little of interest. Notable sights include: Seine river meanders through Paris, Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars district, La Défense business cluster to the west, Bois de Boulogne forest patch.

When landing at Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Bergen Flesland typically lands on runway 17 (southward approach from the north) or runway 35 (northward approach). On the standard approach from the south over the North Sea, the right side faces east toward the dramatic Folgefonna peninsula, the fjords cutting inland, and the rocky island-studded coastline of Hordaland. The left side faces west over open North Sea water. Notable sights include: Hardangerfjord inlet system to the east, Bjørnafjorden (Os fjord) below, rocky skerries and island archipelago of the Hordaland coast, Bergen city center and Bryggen waterfront.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Bergen Flesland (BGO) takes Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.

The flight tracks northeast over Belgium and the Netherlands, crossing the Dutch coast near the Wadden Sea or Frisian Islands, then over the southern North Sea. The Jutland peninsula of Denmark may be visible to the right at cruise altitude. The Skagerrak strait between Denmark and Norway is crossed before descending toward the Norwegian coast. The terrain transitions from flat low-lying Netherlands and Denmark to the rocky fractured coastline of southwest Norway.
