Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🌲

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.
