OSL → EDI
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer great views of the Norwegian coast, the right side is superior for the arrival into Scotland, offering a front-row seat to the iconic Forth Bridges and the Fife coastline.
Search flights from OSL to EDI
Telemark Mountains
Views of the rugged interior mountains and high plateaus of southwestern Norway shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Oil Rigs
On clear days, look down to spot remote industrial platforms and shipping vessels in the middle of the North Sea.
Fife Coastline
Views of the 'Home of Golf' at St Andrews and the quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk of Fife.
The Forth Bridges
The absolute highlight; a perfect view of the red rail bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for seeing the Forth Bridges, usually visible on the right-hand side when the aircraft lands on Runway 24. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the view of the bridges.
Book Hotels in Edinburgh
Oslofjord
Dramatic views of the forested islands and narrow inlets south of Oslo during the initial climb.
Southern Norwegian Coast
Aerial perspective of the rocky Sørlandet coastline and the city of Kristiansand before heading out to sea.
Edinburgh City Center
A stunning view of Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, and the historic Old Town during the final approach.
Pentland Hills
Rolling green hills just south of the city visible during the descent into Edinburgh Airport.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Norwegian sun setting over the North Sea on evening flights. On the approach to Edinburgh, this side is better for spotting the city's historic landmarks like the Royal Mile if the flight path approaches from the south.
