Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Stavanger. While takeoff offers interesting Thames and Kent views on the right, the landing approach into Stavanger on the left provides more dramatic and visually distinctive scenery—the Norwegian fjords, rocky islands, and coastal topography are far more striking than the relatively flat English southeast.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Thames estuary and Kent coastline during the initial climb-out northeastward from Gatwick. You'll see the river's distinctive meanders and the English Channel coast receding below. Notable sights include: Thames estuary, Kent coastline, North Downs ridge, English Channel.

When landing at Stavanger Sola (SVG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Stavanger, showing the Boknafjord and the rocky, fjord-carved coastline of southwestern Norway. The approach typically descends from the southeast, making the left side ideal for viewing the dramatic water and islands. Notable sights include: Boknafjord, Lysefjord (distant), Norwegian coastal islands, Stavanger city and harbor.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Stavanger Sola (SVG) takes 2h 15m.

North Sea crossing with views of the Frisian Islands (German/Dutch coast) on the left during the northbound leg, then the Norwegian coastline becomes visible approximately 30 minutes before landing, including the Egersund area and smaller fjords leading to Boknafjord.
