FLL → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a high probability of viewing the spectacular Greenland ice sheet, potential Aurora Borealis displays during the overnight crossing, and the rugged Norwegian coastline on approach.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Aerial views of massive glaciers and the southern tip of the world's largest island.
Aurora Borealis
High-latitude flight path provides excellent chances to spot the Northern Lights during winter months.
Icelandic Coastline
Views of the volcanic landscapes and southern glaciers of Iceland if the route tracks north.
Norwegian Fjords
Dramatic views of the jagged coastline and deep inlets as the aircraft enters Scandinavian airspace.
Northeast Corridor
Glimpses of the glowing lights of Boston and the Canadian Maritimes during the initial climb.
To see the Northern Lights, choose a window seat on the left and keep the cabin lights off or cover your head with a blanket to reduce glare. Most FLL-OSL flights are overnight; the Greenland transition usually occurs 5-7 hours into the flight. Ensure you are awake for the final 45 minutes of the flight for the best mountain views.
Atlantic Sunrise
A stunning perspective of the sun rising over the horizon during the eastbound crossing.
Oslofjord
Aerial view of the beautiful waterway and numerous islands leading directly toward the city of Oslo.
Norwegian Taiga
Expansive views of the dense pine and spruce forests surrounding the Gardermoen area.
Shipping Lanes
Spotting large cargo vessels and tankers traversing the North Sea as you approach Norway.
High Altitude Clouds
Exceptional formations over the North Atlantic often illuminated by the early morning sun.
The right side is perfect for sunrise enthusiasts; however, be prepared for intense glare as the sun rises. Use your window shade strategically to avoid heating up your personal space. On the final approach into OSL, the right side often provides a clearer view of the Oslofjord islands and the rural landscape of eastern Norway.
