Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Stockholm archipelago and the Estonian coastline during the initial phase of the flight.
Kronstadt Naval Cathedral
Visible shortly after takeoff from Pulkovo as the plane heads west over the Gulf of Finland.
Tallinn Coastline
Strategic views of the Estonian capital and the northern Baltic coastline as you cruise west.
Stockholm Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands and islets visible as the plane enters Swedish airspace.
Stockholm City
A clear view of the 'Venice of the North' and its interconnected waterways and historic center.
Glomma River
Norway's longest river winding through the landscape as the aircraft begins its final descent into Oslo.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. For afternoon flights, this side offers excellent lighting of the Baltic islands. During winter, look for the contrast between frozen coastal waters and dark pine forests.
Finnish Coastline
The rugged northern shore of the Gulf of Finland with its deep inlets and rocky outcrops.
Helsinki Panorama
Distant views of Helsinki's white cathedral and the surrounding urban area across the water.
Åland Islands
The autonomous Finnish archipelago between Sweden and Finland, known for its unique maritime geography.
Swedish Heartland
Vast expanses of Swedish forestry and smaller lakes like Mälaren appearing as the flight crosses Sweden.
Eastern Norwegian Highlands
Rolling hills and dense evergreen forests that define the approach into Gardermoen from the northeast.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight for a clear view of the Åland archipelago. In summer, the low northern sun provides exceptional golden hour photography opportunities.
