Our Recommendation
8.6

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Mediterranean coastline at takeoff, distant views of the Alps, and a magnificent approach over the islands of the Oslofjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🏖️

Costa Brava

Clear views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise bays of the Catalan coast immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

The Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps are visible on the eastern horizon while cruising over France.

🚢

Port of Hamburg

The massive container terminals and the Elbe River winding through Germany's largest port city.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

A cross-section view of Denmark's rolling hills and wind farms as you head north.

🏝️

Oslofjord Archipelago

A spectacular low-altitude view of hundreds of small islands and summer cabins during the approach to Rygge.

Select the right side for morning flights to benefit from soft lighting on the landscape. The highlight is the landing approach; keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the Skagerrak into the island-rich waters of the Oslofjord.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

The Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the high peaks separating Spain and France shortly after departure.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscape and rugged plateaus of central France.

🗼

Paris Basin

The expansive, fertile plains of northern France, with the distant sprawl of Paris visible on clear days.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The unique intertidal zone and wetlands along the German and Danish coasts.

🇳🇴

Vestfold Coastline

The western shores of the Oslofjord with its distinct rocky inlets during final descent.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides the best perspective of the Pyrenees' western slopes and the low-lying wetlands of the North Sea coast before entering Norwegian airspace.
