OSL β†’ AAL

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

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more scenic perspective of the rugged Norwegian coastline during departure and the dramatic sandy bays of the Danish west coast upon approach.

Left Side Highlights

Oslofjord West

View the forested hills of Vestfold and the intricate island chains near Drammen during departure.

Skagerrak Crossing

The deep blue expanse where the North Sea meets the Baltic, often dotted with international shipping vessels.

πŸ–οΈ

Jammerbugten Coast

A stunning view of the wide, sweeping sandy beaches of Northwest Jutland as the plane begins its descent.

🐚

Limfjord Entrance

See the narrow western inlets of the Limfjord cutting through the flat Danish landscape.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. Watch for the sudden change from the deep waters of the Skagerrak to the pale, sandy shallows of the Danish coast about 15 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
6.8

Østfold Shoreline

Aerial views of the eastern Oslofjord, including the cities of Moss and Fredrikstad.

Aalborg Cityscape

A direct view of Aalborg's urban center, the waterfront, and the Utzon Center just before touchdown.
