Which side of the plane to sit from San Javier Airport (Murcia) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the Mediterranean coastline, potential distant views of the Alps, and the iconic Oslofjord approach.
Costa Blanca
Dramatic views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise Mediterranean waters stretching toward Alicante.
Rhone Valley
The winding Rhone river carving through famous French vineyards and historic riverside towns.
The Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps dominate the eastern horizon.
Jutland Peninsula
The unique coastline of Denmark where the North Sea meets the Kattegat, dotted with coastal villages.
Oslofjord
The highlight of the trip: a spectacular approach over the narrow fjord, islands, and colorful summer houses.
The right side is essential for the approach into Oslo, providing the best views of the fjord and its many islands. For photography, morning flights offer the best lighting for the Spanish coast, while afternoon flights provide a stunning 'golden hour' glow over the Danish coast and the final approach into Norway.
Mar Menor
A stunning bird's-eye view of Europe's largest salt-water lagoon and the thin La Manga strip right after takeoff.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of south-central France during the mid-flight cruise.
Paris Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, the sprawling urban lights or suburbs of the French capital may be visible.
The North Sea
Vast maritime views and offshore wind farms as the aircraft heads toward the Scandinavian peninsula.
Norwegian Wilderness
Dense evergreen forests and thousands of small glacial lakes during the descent into the Oslo region.
Sit on the left for a direct view of the Mar Menor lagoon immediately after takeoff. This side is particularly good for night flights to spot the concentrated light clusters of French and Belgian cities. During winter, look for the 'Blue Hour' light over the Norwegian interior.
