Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the High Alps, including iconic Swiss and Italian peaks, and provides a better perspective of the Oslofjord and Oslo city during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Tuscan Archipelago

Spotted across the blue Tyrrhenian Sea, you can often see Elba and smaller Italian islands.

🏔️

Swiss-Italian Alps

Breathtaking proximity to jagged peaks like the Matterhorn, Eiger, and Jungfrau as you cross central Europe.

🛶

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏙️

Oslofjord

A stunning final approach over the narrow inlets, islands, and forests leading directly into Oslo.

Sit on the right for the best morning light on the Alpine glaciers. During the descent into OSL, the right side typically provides a clearer view of the Oslo city center and the Holmenkollen ski jump if the aircraft is landing from the south.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Gulf of Sagone

Dramatic views of the rugged western Corsican coastline and turquoise bays immediately after departure.

🏔️

Western Alps & Mont Blanc

Panoramic views of the highest peaks in Europe, often including the massive Mont Blanc massif in the distance.

🌲

The Black Forest

Aerial views of the dense evergreen canopy and rolling hills of southwestern Germany.

🐚

Wadden Sea

A unique look at the UNESCO-protected tidal flats and sandbars along the German and Danish coasts.

Choose the left side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon or evening, as the sun will set over the North Sea. It also offers the best view of the French Riviera coastline if the flight path tracks slightly west toward Nice.
