Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse sequence of landmarks, including the unique Hel Peninsula on the Polish coast, the massive inland lakes of Sweden, and a superior view of Oslo's city center and the Holmenkollen ski jump during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐚

Hel Peninsula

A 35-km long sandbar peninsula in northern Poland extending into the Baltic Sea.

💧

Lake Vättern

Sweden's second largest lake, known for its deep clear waters and elongated shape.

🌲

Swedish Wilderness

Dense, dark green boreal forests stretching across the southern Swedish landscape.

🏙️

Oslo City Center

Direct views of the Barcode district and the Opera House during the final approach.

⛷️

Holmenkollen Bakken

The iconic illuminated ski jump tower visible on the hills overlooking Oslo.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the distinct 'hook' shape of the Polish coast early in the flight. During the descent into OSL, this side typically offers the best view of the city itself before the plane heads further north to land.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Kraków Old Town

Aerial views of the Wawel Castle and the Vistula River shortly after departure.

🌊

Bornholm Island

The rugged Danish island situated in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

⚓

Gothenburg Coastline

The industrial and maritime landscape of Sweden's second-largest city.

🌅

North Sea Horizon

Expansive water views that offer dramatic lighting during late afternoon flights.

🏞️

Western Oslofjord

The jagged coastline and rocky archipelagos leading up to the Norwegian capital.

Sit on the left for evening departures to enjoy the sunset over the Baltic Sea. It is also the preferred side for viewing the western islands of the Oslofjord if the plane approaches from the south.
