Paris & Suburbs
A sprawling view of the French capital and the Stade de France depending on the departure runway.
Brussels & Antwerp
Clear views of the Belgian capital and one of Europe's largest industrial ports.
Rotterdam Port
The intricate network of canals and shipping containers at the mouth of the Rhine.
Frisian Islands
The unique tidal flats and chain of islands bordering the Wadden Sea along the German/Danish coast.
Oslofjord
The highlight of the trip, featuring deep blue waters, scattered islands, and forested hills as you descend into OSL.
The right side is essential for the approach into Oslo Lufthavn. Most landings occur from the south, meaning you will fly directly up the Oslofjord. Look for the small islands dotted with summer cabins. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, but the landscape detail in the fjords will be highly defined.

Picardy Plains
Expansive views of the neatly partitioned agricultural landscapes of Northern France shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Horizon
Stunning blue vistas as the flight paths cross the North Sea, often catching sunlight reflections on the water.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive geometric arrays of white turbines visible in the waters off the Belgian and Dutch coasts.
Jutland Coastline
The rugged western edge of Denmark, featuring sandy beaches and the Limfjord waterway.
Southern Norwegian Coast
First glimpses of the rocky Norwegian shoreline near Kristiansand as the plane crosses the Skagerrak.
Choose this side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the North Sea. During the winter months, the low sun angle creates dramatic shadows over the Danish dunes and the Skagerrak waves. It is also the better side for photography if you want to avoid direct glare during mid-day flights.
