DUSOSL

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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Frisian Islands during the cruise and a better angle of the Oslo city center and the iconic Oslofjord islands during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Ruhr Metropolis

Dense urban views of the Rhine-Ruhr industrial heartland immediately after departing Düsseldorf.

🏝️

Wadden Sea & Frisian Islands

Aerial perspective of the UNESCO-protected mudflats and the chain of East Frisian Islands along the German coast.

🌊

Danish West Coast

The rugged shoreline and sand dunes of the Jutland peninsula as the flight traverses the North Sea margin.

🚤

Oslofjord Islands

A mosaic of hundreds of small, forested islands dotted with colorful cabins during the final approach.

🏛️

Oslo Waterfront

Excellent views of the Oslo Opera House, Aker Brygge, and the Barcode district if landing from the south.

Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. During the final 15 minutes of flight, the descent over the Oslofjord is the highlight; look for the distinct V-shape of the fjord. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind you or to the west, perfectly illuminating the Norwegian coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🚢

Elbe River Delta

Distant views of the busy shipping lanes leading toward the major port of Hamburg.

🌾

Jutland Plains

The green, agricultural landscapes of central Denmark and the Limfjord waterway.

🏞️

Lake Øyeren

A massive delta and lake system located just east of Oslo, showcasing Norway's inland water network.

🌲

Boreal Forests

Vast expanses of Norwegian spruce and pine forests that characterize the landscape surrounding Gardermoen.

Select an 'F' seat if you prefer watching the sunrise on early morning departures. This side provides a more inland perspective of Scandinavia. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Skagerrak sea for the first glimpse of the rocky Norwegian shoreline near the town of Moss.
