Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Norwegian coastline, the deep Oslofjord, and the rugged peaks of the Jotunheimen and Dovrefjell mountain ranges during the northward journey.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

Øresund Bridge

An immediate view of the massive bridge connecting Copenhagen and Malmö right after takeoff from Kastrup.

🌊

Oslofjord West

Stunning vistas of the western branch of the fjord, including the hilly terrain around Drammen.

🏔️

Jotunheimen Peaks

In the distance to the west, you can spot the snow-capped summits of Norway's highest mountain range.

⛵

Trondheimsfjord

A magnificent panoramic view of the fjord as the plane banks for its final approach into Værnes.

For the most dramatic mountain views, choose a window seat on the left. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes of the Norwegian interior. Look out for the change from the flat Danish islands to the rugged Norwegian terrain about 30 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏢

Malmö Skyline

A clear view of the Swedish city of Malmö and the iconic 'Turning Torso' skyscraper shortly after departure.

🌲

Värmland Wilderness

Expansive views of the dense Swedish forests and thousands of small lakes as you track north along the border.

🏙️

Oslo City Center

If the flight path tracks slightly east, you get an excellent aerial view of the Norwegian capital and its harbor.

⛰️

Dovrefjell

The massive plateau and the distinctive peak of Snøhetta are visible to the east during the latter half of the cruise.

The right side is excellent for seeing the transition between the Swedish and Norwegian landscapes. It is particularly scenic during sunset flights in winter, as the sky over Sweden turns deep shades of orange and pink. Be aware that afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side.
