Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dallas-fort Worth to Bergen. The Bergen approach on the left side delivers the most dramatic and concentrated scenery — Norwegian fjords, a visible glacier, and a mountain-ringed city all within a single descent. The DFW departure on the right is interesting but the flat Texas terrain limits spectacle. Left side wins overall for the arrival experience alone.

During takeoff from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), sit on the Right side for the best views. DFW departures heading northeast on runways 17L/17R or 18L/18R put the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex sprawl and downtown Dallas skyline on the right side. You get a clear view of the urban core, the Trinity River corridor, and Lake Ray Hubbard to the east as the aircraft climbs out. Notable sights include: Downtown Dallas skyline, Trinity River corridor, Lake Ray Hubbard, Texas Stadium area (Arlington).

When landing at Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Bergen Flesland approaches typically come in from the southwest or south over the North Sea, meaning the left side faces east toward the Norwegian fjords and mountains. You get views of the Hardangerfjord system, the Folgefonna glacier plateau, and the rugged peaks of the Hordaland highlands as you descend. Notable sights include: Hardangerfjord, Folgefonna glacier plateau, Bjørnafjorden (Os fjord), Bergen city center and Bryggen waterfront.

The flight from Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) to Bergen Flesland (BGO) takes Approximately 10 to 11 hours nonstop, though most routings connect via a European hub adding 2-4 hours.

The great circle route crosses the northeastern US (New England coast and possibly the Gulf of St. Lawrence), then tracks over Newfoundland and Labrador, crosses the North Atlantic passing south of Greenland's tip, transits Iceland's airspace or just south of it, then crosses the Norwegian Sea before descending into western Norway. Greenland's ice sheet edge may be faintly visible on the northern horizon at cruise altitude depending on exact routing.
