Mosjoen to Newark is 3,627 miles (5,838 km), a flight of about 8 hours.
While the left side dominates during takeoff with Norwegian fjord scenery, the right side captures the more dramatic and iconic views during descent into Newark—the Hudson estuary and Manhattan skyline are unmatched highlights. For a transatlantic flight, the landing approach scenery outweighs the takeoff advantage.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Norwegian Sea, then the North Atlantic. Notable features include the Shetland Islands and Orkney Islands (visible on the left/north side during the first 2-3 hours), the Faroe Islands (far to the north), and the open Atlantic for the majority of the crossing. As the aircraft approaches North America, Newfoundland and the Canadian Maritime provinces appear on the left side during the final 2-3 hours of flight. The approach to Newark brings views of the New England coast, Long Island Sound, and finally the New York metropolitan area.
