While left offers dramatic Faroese scenery at takeoff, right provides consistent visual interest throughout the flight and superior views during the longer descent into Billund. The landing approach alone justifies the right-side choice for this route.
Flight Path
Norwegian Sea crossing with no major visible landmarks; the flight passes over open water between the Faroe Islands and the Skagerrak strait. Approximately midway, you may glimpse the northern coast of Denmark or southern Norway on the horizon depending on exact routing, but the majority of the flight path crosses featureless ocean at cruise altitude.
