GOT → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the rugged Swedish West Coast and a panoramic perspective of the stunning Oslofjord during the descent into Norway.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the unique granite islands and coastal fishing villages dotting the Kattegat sea.
Bohuslän Coastline
The flight path follows the dramatic Swedish coastline, showcasing rocky shores and deep blue inlets.
Oslofjord
As you enter Norwegian airspace, the plane often flies parallel to the fjord, offering views of the narrow waterways and forested peninsulas.
Oslo Waterfront
On clear days during the descent, the city's modern architecture, including the Opera House and Munch Museum, is visible.
Holmenkollen Ski Jump
Look toward the hills west of the city to spot the massive steel structure of the world-famous ski jump.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This is a very short flight (approx. 40 mins), so look out early as the aircraft stays at a lower altitude, making ground details very clear. During winter, the contrast between the dark sea and snow-covered islands is particularly striking.
Swedish Forests
Inland views of the vast, dense 'Green Gold' forests that define the Västmanland and Dalsland regions.
Lake Mjörn
A large, beautiful lake located just north of Gothenburg-Landvetter airport shortly after departure.
Västgötaslätten
The fertile agricultural plains of central Sweden, creating a patchwork of fields visible shortly after takeoff.
Lake Øyeren
Located just east of Oslo, this large lake and delta system is a prominent landmark during the final approach to Gardermoen.
Choose the right side if you prefer the serene, repetitive patterns of Nordic forests and lakes. This side is better for evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. Note that you will miss the coastline and the majority of the Oslofjord views on this side.
