OSL → BUD
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (Budapest)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic Oslofjord departure, the Oresund crossing between Denmark and Sweden, and the iconic Danube Bend just before landing in Budapest.
Oslofjord
Stunning aerial views of the islands and intricate coastline immediately after takeoff from OSL.
Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen to Malmö is often visible while crossing the Baltic.
Prague
Depending on the corridor, the dense historical center and the Vltava River can be spotted over the Czech Republic.
High Tatras
In the distance to the east, the jagged peaks of the Carpathian Mountains mark the border of Slovakia and Poland.
The Danube Bend
A breathtaking view of the river's 90-degree turn near Visegrád during the northern approach into Budapest.
Book an 'A' seat for the best views. On morning flights, you will have the sun behind you for clearer photography of the Norwegian coast. During the descent into BUD, keep your camera ready for the Danube Bend and the Parliament building if landing from the north.
Skagerrak Strait
The vast waters where the North Sea meets the Baltic, with views of the Jutland peninsula's coast.
German Heartland
Geometric patterns of agricultural fields and wind farms across Northern and Eastern Germany.
Vienna & the Alps
On very clear days, the distant snowy peaks of the Austrian Alps and the Vienna basin are visible to the west.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea' may be visible as a long, turquoise sliver in the distance to the southwest during the descent.
Buda Hills
The green, rolling hills on the western side of the Danube provide a lush backdrop as you enter Hungarian airspace.
Choose an 'F' seat to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun. While less landmark-heavy, this side provides great lighting for observing the varied textures of the European landscape and distant mountain silhouettes.
