Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for Norway's dramatic coastline, including the Svartisen glacier and the highest peaks of the Jotunheimen range, while avoiding the direct glare of the afternoon sun on southbound flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
⛰️

Lofoten Archipelago

Looking west on departure, you can often see the jagged 'Lofoten Wall' rising sharply from the Norwegian Sea in the distance.

🧊

Svartisen Glacier

Visible mid-flight, the deep blue ice of Norway's second-largest glacier provides a stunning contrast to the dark mountain rock.

🏝️

Helgeland Coast

A mesmerizing view of thousands of islands, reefs, and the famous 'Seven Sisters' mountain range along the shoreline.

🏔️

Jotunheimen National Park

Pass over the 'Home of the Giants,' featuring the highest mountains in Northern Europe, including the massive Galdhøpiggen.

🌲

Nordmarka Forests

The final approach provides a classic view of the endless green forests and scattered lakes that surround the city of Oslo.

The right side is the 'coastal side' and is generally superior for drama. Aim for a window seat away from the wing (Rows 1-8 or 22+) for unobstructed views of the Svartisen glacier. On evening flights, this side offers incredible sunset views over the Atlantic. In winter, keep your eyes peeled for the Northern Lights if flying after dark, as the right side faces the open sea where light pollution is non-existent.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏗️

Narvik & Ofotfjorden

Aerial views of the historic iron ore port and the deep blue waters of the surrounding fjord immediately after takeoff.

❄️

Saltfjellet Plateau

Crossing the Arctic Circle over a vast, snow-dusted mountain plateau that stretches toward the Swedish border.

🏔️

Rondane National Park

A view of Norway's oldest national park, characterized by its massive, rounded peaks and deep lichen-covered valleys.

💧

Lake Mjøsa

As the plane descends toward Oslo, you fly alongside Norway's largest lake, seeing the fertile farmlands of Hamar and Gjøvik.

Sit on the left if you prefer inland mountain scenery and national parks. During winter morning flights, this side catches the first glow of the sun hitting the interior peaks. For the best views of Lake Mjøsa during the descent into OSL, choose a seat behind the wing to see the landscape unfold as the flaps extend.
