LIS → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) (Lisbon) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a diverse viewing experience, including the Lisbon cityscape on departure, the rugged mountains of Northern Spain, the famous vineyards of France, and the impressive bridge infrastructure of Denmark.
Lisbon Cityscape
Excellent views of the Tagus River, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and downtown Lisbon shortly after takeoff.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible shortly after crossing the border.
French Countryside
Bird's-eye views of the Bordeaux wine region and the Loire Valley river systems.
The Low Countries
Intricate canal systems and city grids of the Netherlands and Northern Germany.
Great Belt Bridge
The massive bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.
Oslofjord
A stunning descent over the narrow fjord dotted with islands and colorful summer houses.
The right side is generally more scenic for this route. In the afternoon, the sun will be on the left, making the right side better for photography. Keep a close eye on the window as you cross Denmark to see the Great Belt Bridge, and ensure your window shade is up for the arrival into Oslo, as the flight path typically glides right over the scenic Oslofjord islands.
Atlantic Coastline
Dramatic views of the Portuguese and Galician coasts early in the flight.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged coastline of Northwest France and the Bay of Biscay.
The English Channel
Distant views of the southern coast of England and the busy shipping lanes below.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind arrays visible as you approach the Scandinavian coast.
Norwegian Archipelagos
The rocky islands and dense forests of the southern Norwegian coast during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better if you prefer ocean horizons and the rugged Atlantic edge. Look out for the western side of the Oslofjord during the final approach, which provides a great perspective of the Norwegian coastline.
