Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Right Side Highlights

🇳🇱

Markerwaard Polders

The intricate patterns of reclaimed land and dikes north of Amsterdam immediately after departure.

🌉

Storebælt Bridge

On clear days, the massive Great Belt Fixed Link connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.

⛵

Oslofjord Islands

A stunning mosaic of forested islands and summer cabins scattered throughout the blue waters of the fjord.

🏙️

Oslo Cityscape

A panoramic view of the Norwegian capital, including the Opera House and the Aker Brygge waterfront.

🎿

Holmenkollen

The iconic ski jump tower standing prominently on the hills overlooking the city during the final approach.

The Right Side is essential for the approach into OSL; sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the fjord. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Norwegian coast from the east, highlighting the terrain's texture.

🌊

Wadden Sea Islands

The chain of Frisian Islands stretching along the Dutch and German coast, visible shortly after takeoff.

🇩🇰

Jutland West Coast

The long, sandy coastline of western Denmark and the vast Limfjord cutting through the peninsula.

Skagerrak Crossing

The deep strait between Denmark and Norway, often dotted with international shipping vessels.

⛰️

Telemark Highlands

The rugged, rolling hills of southern Norway as the aircraft begins its initial descent.

Opt for this side during sunset flights to catch the golden hour reflecting off the North Sea. It provides a better view of the coastal transition from flat Dutch polders to the rocky Norwegian landscape.
