DUBOSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred for its spectacular views of the English Lake District during the mid-flight phase and the iconic approach over the Oslofjord upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇮🇪

Dublin South Coast

Sweeping views of the city sprawl and the distant Wicklow Mountains as the plane climbs.

⛰️

Lake District

Stunning aerial perspectives of England's most famous national park, including its dramatic peaks and glacial lakes.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of wind turbines visible in the North Sea, showcasing large-scale renewable energy.

⛵

Oslofjord

The highlight of the trip, featuring the intricate network of islands and boats leading toward the capital.

🏙️

Oslo Cityscape

A distant view of the Norwegian capital and its unique harbor architecture during the northern descent.

The right side is significantly more scenic during the descent. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the English mountains and the Norwegian coastline perfectly. Be ready with a camera as the plane turns north over the Oslofjord for the best panoramas.

🌊

Dublin Bay

Aerial views of the northern Dublin coastline and Howth Head shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Scottish Southern Uplands

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Galloway hills can be seen to the north across the Irish Sea.

🚢

North Sea Transit

A vast expanse of deep blue water featuring international shipping lanes and occasional cargo vessels.

🌲

Norwegian Wilderness

The transition from sea to land reveals the dense, dark green evergreen forests of Southern Norway.

✈️

OSL Final Approach

Views of the rural landscape and scattered lakes surrounding the Gardermoen area before touchdown.

Choose this side if flying during winter nights for a slim chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis to the north. During the day, it offers a quieter, more minimalist maritime aesthetic.
