ABZ → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic transition from the North Sea into the rugged, snow-capped mountain ranges of southern Norway and the high-altitude plateaus.

North Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the North Sea, where you can often spot large-scale offshore oil and gas infrastructure.
Hardangervidda Fringe
The northern edge of Europe's largest mountain plateau, featuring arctic-like tundra and glacial remnants.
Hallingskarvet Ridge
A massive, flat-topped mountain range that stands out prominently against the surrounding valleys during the descent.
Tyrifjorden Lake
A stunning, multi-armed freshwater lake surrounded by dense Norwegian spruce and pine forests.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Norwegian peaks without the sun's glare. In winter, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white-out conditions of the high plateaus, which are breathtaking from 30,000 feet. If the flight path takes a northern approach, this side is essential for seeing the interior mountains.

Aberdeen Harbour
A clear view of the 'Granite City' coastline and the bustling support vessels in the harbour immediately after takeoff.
Central North Sea Rigs
Excellent opportunities to see the Forties and Ekofisk oil field structures depending on the specific flight corridor.
The Oslofjord
Upon arrival, if the wind dictates a landing from the south, you'll see the intricate islands and inlets leading to Oslo.
Oslo City Skyline
A distant but clear view of the city center, including the Opera House and Aker Brygge, during the final approach phase.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'oil capital to oil capital' connection, specifically the maritime activity near Aberdeen and the oil fields mid-flight. For the best experience during evening flights, this side avoids the direct setting sun, providing softer light for photography of the Oslofjord on landing.
