Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Reykjavik to Bergen. While left offers excellent volcanic scenery during takeoff, right provides superior views throughout the majority of the flight path and especially during the scenic descent into Bergen. The Norwegian fjord landscape on approach is more visually dramatic and sustained than the brief volcanic views leaving Reykjavik.

During takeoff from Reykjavik (RKV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side captures the dramatic volcanic landscape immediately south and southeast of Reykjavik, including the Reykjanes Peninsula's lava fields and geothermal features. Right side faces toward open ocean with minimal visual interest during climb-out. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula lava fields, Mount Keilir (volcanic cone), Kleifarvatn lake, Atlantic coastline.

When landing at Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides excellent views of the Norwegian fjord system and Bergen's approach corridor. As the aircraft descends toward Flesland, the right side faces the dramatic Hardangerfjord and surrounding mountain terrain that frames the final approach. Notable sights include: Hardangerfjord, Folgefonna glacier (visible on clear days), Ulriken mountain range, Bergen harbor and city.

The flight from Reykjavik (RKV) to Bergen Flesland (BGO) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Norwegian Sea at cruising altitude. Approximately halfway, the aircraft passes over the Shetland Islands (visible on clear days as low, dark landmasses). The route then approaches the Norwegian coast near Sognefjord, one of Europe's longest and deepest fjords, before turning south toward Bergen. The Hardangerfjord system becomes visible in the final 30 minutes of descent.
