Keflavik to Nashville flight path: KEF to BNA

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Keflavik to Nashville. The right side wins on both ends of the flight — Iceland's volcanic Reykjanes coastline at takeoff and the Nashville skyline with the Cumberland River at landing — while the left side offers mostly open ocean and featureless farmland.

During takeoff from Keflavik Nas (KEF), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing KEF on runway 19 heads south over the Reykjanes Peninsula, whose volcanic craters, lava fields, and rugged coastline sit to the west (right side) of the climb path. The left side only shows open North Atlantic water. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula volcanic fields, Reykjanesta coastline, Blue Lagoon geothermal area, small fishing villages along the southwest coast.

When landing at Nashville International (BNA), sit on the Right side for the best views. On approach into BNA from the northeast, the final turn typically brings the Nashville skyline and the Cumberland River into view on the right side of the aircraft before touchdown on the north-south runways. The left side mostly shows suburban rooftops and flat farmland with no distinct landmarks. Notable sights include: Downtown Nashville skyline, Cumberland River bends, Nissan Stadium, rolling Tennessee farmland.

The flight from Keflavik Nas (KEF) to Nashville International (BNA) takes 7h 30m.

Southern tip of Greenland near Cape Farewell with its glaciers and fjords, the Labrador coast, and the Great Lakes region are crossed during cruise, though at typical cruise altitude these appear as distant, hazy landforms rather than dominant close-up scenery.
