OSL → AAR
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Aarhus Airport (Aarhus)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the intricate Vestfold coastline and a clearer perspective of Aarhus city and the Jutland interior upon the southern approach.
Oslofjord Islands
Intricate patterns of islands and summer cabins in the western branch of the fjord.
Vestfold Coast
Beautiful coastal towns like Tønsberg and Sandefjord are clearly visible early in the flight.
Færder Lighthouse
One of Norway's most famous maritime landmarks marking the exit of the Oslofjord.
Jutland Countryside
Denmark's iconic patchwork of green and yellow agricultural fields during the descent.
Aarhus Harbor
View of the industrial port and the expanding city center during the final approach phase.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Watch for the Færder lighthouse about 15 minutes after takeoff, as it marks the transition from the fjord to the open sea.
Oslo Opera House
Visible shortly after takeoff as the plane climbs south over the inner Oslofjord.
Østfold Landscapes
The dense forests and lakes of southeastern Norway provide a lush green backdrop.
Swedish Border
The rugged coastline of the Bohuslän region in Sweden is visible in the distance to the east.
Kattegat Waters
The expansive sea crossing between the two Scandinavian nations during the cruise phase.
Djursland Beaches
The sandy coastline and vacation homes of eastern Denmark as you approach the airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Kattegat. Keep an eye out for the Swedish archipelago as you leave Norwegian airspace; it is particularly striking in clear weather.
