Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning mountain and coastal views, the right side is preferred for the iconic aerial view of Barcelona upon departure and the spectacular approach over the islands and deep blue waters of the Oslofjord.
Barcelona Cityscape
Unbeatable views of the Sagrada Familia and the perfectly grid-like Eixample district immediately after takeoff.
Western Alps
On clear days, the distant white peaks of the French Alps and Mont Blanc are visible to the east.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva can be spotted while cruising over eastern France.
Jutland Peninsula
A full crossing of Denmark, showing the transition from the North Sea to the Kattegat sea.
Oslofjord
The highlight of the trip: a scenic descent over the narrow fjord, dotted with small forested islands and summer cabins.
The right side is essential for the arrival into Oslo; the fjord approach is one of Europe's most beautiful. For the departure from Barcelona, sit a few rows behind the wing to capture the Mediterranean coast and the city layout without obstruction.
Pyrenees Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France are visible during the first hour.
North Sea Coastline
Views of the Frisian Islands and the intricate coastline of the Netherlands and Northern Germany.
Norwegian Coast
The rugged, rocky shoreline and coastal towns of southern Norway as the plane begins its descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides excellent views of the Pyrenees' jagged northern face. Keep an eye out for the distinctive windmills of the Benelux region during mid-flight.
