HAM β OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic, particularly during the descent, as it offers a panoramic view of the Swedish archipelago and the full length of the stunning Oslo Fjord approach.
Hamburg City Center
A bird's-eye view of the Alster lakes and the historic city center of Hamburg.
Oresund Region
Distant views of the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden and the Copenhagen skyline.
Swedish Archipelago
Thousands of granite islands and coastal towns along the scenic BohuslΓ€n coast.
Oslo Fjord
The primary highlight, featuring a long descent over the deep blue waters and forested islands.
Holmenkollen
The famous ski jump structure visible on the hills west of Oslo during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the Oslo Fjord approach, which is the most scenic part of the trip. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Swedish and Norwegian coastlines. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the archipelago.
Hamburg Harbor
Views of the massive container terminals and the Elbe river immediately after takeoff.
Wadden Sea
The unique tidal flats and wetlands of the German and Danish North Sea coast.
Jutland Peninsula
The flat, green agricultural landscape of western Denmark and the Limfjord waterway.
Skagerrak Horizon
Expansive views over the open sea where the North Sea meets the Baltic.
Southern Norway
The rugged, rocky coastline of the Agder region as you enter Norwegian airspace.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. It offers great views of the transitioning landscape from the flat German plains to the rugged Norwegian coast.
