Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of coastal views along the Iberian Peninsula and France, followed by a scenic descent over the Oslofjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Canary Archipelago

Excellent views of Gran Canaria's northern coast and potentially Fuerteventura shortly after takeoff.

🇵🇹

Portuguese Coast

Sightings of the cliffs of Cabo da Roca and the sprawling urban area of Lisbon if the flight path hugs the coast.

🇫🇷

French Seaboard

Views of the sandy beaches of the Landes forest and the mouth of the Gironde estuary near Bordeaux.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

The flat, agricultural landscape of Denmark and the massive offshore wind farms in the North Sea.

🚤

Oslofjord

A spectacular approach over the narrow fjord, dotted with small islands, colorful cabins, and sailboats.

🏙️

Oslo Cityscape

On the final approach to Gardermoen, you can often see the Holmenkollen ski jump and the city center.

This is the 'land-side' for most of the trip. To maximize the experience, book a seat in front of or behind the wings to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the Oslofjord, which is the visual highlight of the flight. During winter, northern lights may be visible on this side during night flights as you head north.

Left Side Highlights
6.3
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean during the first half of the journey.

🌅

Sunset Views

On evening flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun setting over the western horizon.

🚢

Shipping Lanes

Visuals of major maritime traffic crossing the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel.

🇳🇴

West Norwegian Coast

Distant views of the rugged islands and inlets of southwestern Norway during the initial descent.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct glare while still catching a dramatic sunset over the Atlantic. It is generally the quieter side for visual stimulation until reaching the Norwegian border.
