Newark to Mosjoen is 3,627 miles (5,838 km), a flight of about 8 hours 30 minutes.
The left side delivers the spectacular New York harbor departure, and during the transatlantic cruise at high altitude the left side also faces south toward Greenland's ice sheet edge and the Norwegian Sea coastline on descent. The MJF landing view is better on the right, but the takeoff spectacle and mid-flight geography give the left side the overall edge.
Flight Path
The great-circle route from EWR to MJF tracks northeast over Newfoundland and Labrador, crosses the Labrador Sea, passes south of Greenland's tip near Cape Farewell, crosses the Iceland Basin, passes north of the Faroe Islands, and enters Norwegian airspace over the Norwegian Sea before descending toward Nordland county. Key features include the Labrador coastline, the Greenland ice sheet visible on the northern horizon, the open North Atlantic, and the deeply indented Norwegian fjord coast on descent.
