BTS → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route as it captures the immediate urban sprawl of Vienna and the Danube bend after takeoff, followed by a spectacular panoramic view of downtown Oslo and the Holmenkollen ski jump during the descent.

Vienna & Danube
Visible shortly after takeoff from BTS, offering views of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube river.
Bohemian Massif
Dense forests and rolling granite hills marking the historic border regions of the Czech Republic.
Elbe Estuary
The massive waterway leading toward Hamburg, often visible as the plane crosses into Northern Germany.
Jutland Peninsula
The scenic transition from the European mainland to the North Sea as you fly over western Denmark.
Oslo City & Fjord
On the final approach, this side typically faces the city center, the Aker Brygge docks, and the iconic ski jump.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. During the final 15 minutes, keep your camera ready for the Oslo city skyline; the left side offers the most direct view of the harbor and the surrounding hills. If the flight path takes you slightly west, you might also spot the Harz mountains in central Germany.

Little Carpathians
Rugged limestone ridges and vineyards immediately north of Bratislava seen during the initial climb.
Baltic Coastline
View the sandy spits and coastal lagoons of the Polish and German shores from a high cruising altitude.
Øresund Bridge
The massive engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen to Malmö is often visible as a thin line across the sea.
Swedish Archipelago
A stunning collection of granite islands and rocky outcrops along the Swedish west coast near Gothenburg.
Glomma River
Norway's longest river winding through the lush green valleys of Viken during the final descent into OSL.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as it stays in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without window glare. Watch closely for the Øresund Bridge approximately 40 minutes before landing. In winter months, this side offers beautiful 'blue hour' light over the frozen lakes of Sweden and Eastern Norway.
