HAU → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Haugesund Airport (Haugesund) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic view of the iconic Gaustatoppen peak and a better chance to see the Oslofjord and city center during the descent.
Boknafjorden
Vast views of the wide fjord system south of Haugesund during the initial climb.
Gaustatoppen
Spot the distinctive conical peak of Southern Norway's highest mountain midway through the flight.
Oslofjord
During descent, enjoy views of the island-dotted fjord stretching south from the capital.
Oslo Cityscape
Depending on the wind direction, the right side often gets a clear view of the city center and the Opera House.
The right side is iconic for spotting Gaustatoppen, which stands out prominently from the surrounding terrain. For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to see the Oslofjord islands during the descent into OSL. Morning flights may have some glare.
Haugalandet Coast
Immediately after takeoff, see the fractured coastline and numerous islands of Western Norway.
Hardangerfjord
Glimpse the deep blue waters of one of Norway's most famous and longest fjords to the north.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, look for the massive white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier.
Hardangervidda Plateau
Fly over Northern Europe's largest mountain plateau, a vast wilderness of lakes and tundra.
Sit on the left for the best views of the high glaciers and the rugged northern plateau. This side is better in the afternoon to avoid the direct southern sun. Look out early in the flight for the contrast between the green fjords and snow-capped peaks.
