Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Keflavik to Godthaab. While takeoff from KEF favors the left, the landing approach to GOH from the right provides more dramatic and sustained views of Greenland's glaciated landscape and fjord system. The approach descent offers superior visibility of the ice sheet and coastal features that define this destination.

During takeoff from Keflavik Nas (KEF), sit on the Left side for the best views. KEF typically departs runway 02 (northbound) or 20 (southbound). Left seats offer views of the Reykjanes Peninsula's volcanic terrain and the Atlantic coastline as you climb out. The dramatic lava fields and coastal cliffs are most visible from the left side during northbound departures. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula lava fields, Atlantic Ocean to the west, Fagradalsfjall volcanic region, Grindavík town area.

When landing at Nuuk (GOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Approach to GOH typically uses runway 07 or 25 depending on wind. Right seats provide excellent views of Nuuk's fjord system and the Greenlandic ice sheet as you descend. The Davis Strait and the dramatic glaciated terrain surrounding the capital are most visible from the right side during standard approaches. Notable sights include: Nuuk fjord system, Greenlandic ice sheet margin, Davis Strait, Sermitsiaq mountain (distinctive peak near Nuuk).

The flight from Keflavik Nas (KEF) to Nuuk (GOH) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Denmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland. Midway, you'll pass over open ocean with occasional views of pack ice and icebergs, particularly in summer months. The transition from Iceland's volcanic terrain to Greenland's glaciated landscape is gradual but becomes pronounced as you approach the Greenlandic coast. The ice sheet's edge becomes visible roughly 30-40 minutes before landing at GOH.
