OSLFLL

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this transatlantic crossing, offering potential views of the Greenland ice sheet, the rugged Canadian Maritimes, and the unique geography of Cape Cod while avoiding the harsh direct sunlight of the southern sky.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Greenland Glaciers

Stunning views of the massive ice cap and deep fjords of Southern Greenland.

🧊

Labrador Sea Icebergs

Potential to spot floating ice and the rugged, rocky coastline of Newfoundland.

🌲

Nova Scotia

The dense forests and jagged coastline of Canada's Atlantic provinces.

⚓

Cape Cod

The iconic hook-shaped peninsula of Massachusetts clearly visible from high altitude.

🐊

The Everglades

The vast, shimmering wetlands of Florida as the plane turns for its final approach.

Choose the right side to maximize your chances of seeing Greenland and Canada without the glare of the sun. The 'Great Circle' route often takes planes quite far north, making the ice sheets a highlight of the trip. On the final approach into FLL, the right side often provides a sweeping view of the Everglades and the suburban sprawl of South Florida.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🛫

Oslofjord

Aerial views of the islands and bays near Oslo during the initial climb.

🌊

Vast Atlantic

Expansive views of the open ocean during the primary leg of the journey.

🏙️

US Eastern Seaboard

Distant views of major metropolitan lights if the flight path hugs the coast at dusk.

🏝️

Bahamian Out Islands

The striking turquoise waters of the northern Bahamas during the final descent.

🏖️

Florida Gold Coast

The high-rise buildings and sandy beaches of Pompano and Fort Lauderdale.

The left side faces south during this westbound flight, meaning you will encounter direct sunlight and glare for the duration of the day. It is best for nighttime views of the US coast and seeing the turquoise waters of the Bahamas just before landing in Fort Lauderdale. Ensure your window shade is down during the mid-flight to avoid heating the cabin.
