Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Bergen. The left side wins decisively due to the Bergen approach, which cuts through classic Norwegian fjord and mountain terrain — steep-sided inlets, forested peaks, and coastal islands — making for one of the more dramatic short-haul European landings.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing LGW northbound, the left side offers views over London's eastern suburbs and the Thames Estuary before the route heads out over the North Sea. It's a brief but interesting urban-to-coastal transition. Notable sights include: Thames Estuary, London's eastern suburbs, Essex coastline, North Sea shipping lanes.

When landing at Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Left side for the best views. The approach into Bergen is the highlight of this flight — the left side reveals Norway's dramatic fjord coastline, steep forested mountains, and scattered skerries as the plane descends toward Flesland. This is classic western Norway fjord scenery visible right up to touchdown. Notable sights include: Norwegian fjord coastline, Byfjorden, mountains around Bergen (Ulriken, Fløyen), coastal skerries and islands.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Bergen Flesland (BGO) takes 1h 40m.

North Sea open water, occasional oil/gas platforms, Norwegian coastal islands (skerries) as the coastline comes into view before descent
