Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Sandefjord Airport, Torp (Sandefjord)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic sections of the Alps and a better perspective of the Norwegian coastline and Oslofjord approach.
High Alps Peaks
Unrivaled views of the Mercantour National Park and the snow-capped peaks of the central Swiss Alps.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent shape of Lac Léman with the Swiss city of Lausanne visible on the shore.
The Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany stretching toward the horizon.
Danish Archipelago
A mosaic of islands and bridges connecting the Baltic and North Seas near Denmark.
Oslofjord Entrance
The rocky skerries and picturesque coastal towns of Vestfold as the plane descends into Torp.
The right side is essential for the best alpine photography; the sun will be behind you on morning flights, lighting the peaks perfectly. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes for the intricate Norwegian 'skjærgård' (archipelago) topography.
Côte d'Azur
Breathtaking views of the Baie des Anges and the Promenade des Anglais immediately after takeoff from NCE.
Jura Mountains
The distinct sub-alpine mountain range along the French-Swiss border featuring limestone ridges.
Upper Rhine Valley
A clear view of the winding Rhine River and the border regions between France and Germany.
Danish West Coast
Vistas of the Jutland peninsula's sandy beaches and the vast North Sea horizon.
Sit on the left for early afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare when looking toward the French coast. This side is excellent for seeing the industrial heart of Germany and the expansive North Sea during the final hour of flight.
