OSL → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers legendary views of the Greenland ice sheet, glaciers, and potentially Iceland, which are the highlights of any Transatlantic crossing.
Search flights from OSL to EWR
Hardangervidda National Park
The vast, snowy mountain plateau of Norway visible shortly after departing Oslo.
Icelandic Glaciers
Depending on the jet stream, the route often passes over southern Iceland's volcanic and icy terrain.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Massive glaciers and deep fjords filled with icebergs along the southern coast of Greenland.
Labrador Wilderness
Thousands of pristine lakes and dense boreal forests across Northern Quebec and Labrador.
Hudson River Valley
A scenic flight path following the Hudson River south towards the New York metro area.
The right side is essential for viewing the Greenland ice cap, which usually occurs 3-4 hours into the flight. Ensure you have your camera ready for the dramatic glacier tongues and icebergs. Because this flight travels west, the sun will be on the left (south), meaning the right side has more consistent, indirect lighting for photography.

Southern Norway Coast
Aerial views of the rugged coastline and the transition from the Skagerrak to the North Sea.
Newfoundland Shoreline
The first sight of North America, featuring the rocky cliffs and remote inlets of eastern Canada.
Cape Cod & Islands
The distinct hook of Cape Cod and views of Martha's Vineyard as the flight nears New England.
Manhattan Skyline
On specific approaches into EWR, a stunning panoramic view of the New York City skyscrapers.
Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing the New York City skyline during the final descent into Newark, especially if the plane approaches from the north. This side also avoids direct afternoon sunlight for much of the westbound journey, making it easier to look out the window without glare.
