BRU → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side is superior for its perspective of the Dutch and German inland cities and the breathtaking descent directly over the length of the Oslofjord into the heart of Norway.

Randstad Metro
Clear views of the dense urban layout of Amsterdam, Utrecht, and the surrounding polder landscapes.
Hamburg & Elbe
On clearer inland routes, you can see the massive container terminals of Hamburg and the winding Elbe River.
Danish Belt Bridges
Distant views of the impressive engineering of the Great Belt Bridge connecting Danish islands.
Swedish Archipelago
The granite islands of the Swedish west coast near Gothenburg appearing shortly before entering Norwegian airspace.
Oslofjord Descent
A spectacular final approach following the deep blue fjord, dotted with colorful summer cabins and forested hills.
The Right Side is essential for the approach into Oslo Lufthavn. Most arrivals fly north directly over the Oslofjord; sitting on the right provides the best views of the city center, the Holmenkollen ski jump, and the surrounding mountains. Morning flights provide the best light for photography on this side.

Wadden Islands
Aerial view of the Dutch Frisian Islands, including Texel and Vlieland, surrounded by unique tidal sandbars.
North Sea Panoramas
Expansive views of the North Sea featuring massive offshore wind farms and distant cargo shipping lanes.
Jutland Coastline
The rugged western beaches of Denmark, characterized by high dunes and the cold waters of the Skagerrak.
Southern Norway Skerries
The first glimpse of the Norwegian coast featuring thousands of tiny, rocky islands near the town of Mandal.
The left side is best for mid-day flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Dutch coastline. In winter, this side catches the late afternoon sunset over the North Sea during the final leg.
