ORY → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Benelux coastline, the unique tidal patterns of the Wadden Sea, and a more direct view of the Oslo city center and harbor during the standard approach.
Paris Skyline
Aerial view of the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, and the La Défense business district shortly after takeoff from Orly.
Port of Rotterdam
The massive industrial landscape and shipping terminals of Europe's largest seaport along the Dutch coast.
Wadden Sea
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring complex tidal flats and sandbanks stretching along the Dutch and German coast.
Frisian Islands
The distinct chain of barrier islands including Texel and Terschelling with their white sandy beaches.
Skagerrak Coast
The transition from the open sea to the rugged, rocky southern coastline of Norway.
Oslo City Center
Panoramic views of the Aker Brygge waterfront, the Oslo Opera House, and the city harbor during the final descent.
Sit in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Dutch coastline. On late afternoon flights, this side catches the sunset over the North Sea. During winter, look for the 'blue hour' light reflecting off the fjords.
Champagne Vineyards
The neatly organized geometric rows of the French vineyards in the Reims and Épernay regions.
Brussels & Antwerp
Dense urban clusters and historic centers of the major Belgian metropolitan areas.
North German Plain
The vast, flat agricultural landscapes of Lower Saxony and glimpses of the Elbe River.
Great Belt Bridge
One of the world's longest suspension bridges connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand.
Østlandet Forests
The deep green expanses of the dense Norwegian pine and spruce forests as you cross into Scandinavia.
Oslofjord Islands
A bird's eye view of the numerous small islands and colorful summer cabins dotting the eastern side of the fjord.
This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It offers a better perspective of the inland geography and the large infrastructure projects connecting the Danish islands. Keep an eye out for the transition from central European plains to Scandinavian forests.
