KRS → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Kristiansand Airport (Kristiansand) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the famous Sørlandet coastline and the scenic approach through the Oslofjord.
Sørlandet Archipelago
The 'Summer Coast' of Norway, featuring thousands of small rocky islands and white-painted coastal towns.
Færder National Park
Spot the iconic Færder Lighthouse and the unique coastal landscape at the mouth of the Oslofjord.
Oslo Cityscape
On clear days during the descent, you can see the city center, the Opera House, and the Holmenkollen ski jump.
Oslofjord Traffic
Watch large cruise ships and ferries navigating the narrow channels leading toward the capital.
Sit on the right for the iconic Norwegian coastal experience. During the evening, the low sun reflects beautifully off the Skagerrak sea. As the flight is very short (approx. 45 mins), be ready with your camera immediately after the initial climb.
Setesdalen Valleys
Deep glacial valleys and rugged mountain plateaus characteristic of the Agder and Telemark regions.
Inland Lakes
Views of pristine freshwater bodies like Lake Nisser and Lake Fyresvatn nestled among the peaks.
Boreal Forests
Expansive stretches of dense Norwegian spruce and pine forests stretching toward the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get clear views of the inland mountain terrain. In winter, look for the stark contrast between frozen white lakes and dark evergreen forests.
