Mosjoen to Panama City is 5,721 miles (9,206 km), a flight of about 13 hours 30 minutes.
While the takeoff offers Scandinavian fjord scenery, the landing approach over the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake provides more dramatic and visually distinctive features. The canal's engineering and the contrast between rainforest and water create more compelling viewing than the departure sequence.
