OSLGDN

Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior primarily for the stunning departure views of the Oslofjord and the dramatic rocky coastline of the Swedish West Coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛵

Oslofjord

Breathtaking views of the islands, narrow channels, and coastal towns like Drøbak and Moss immediately after takeoff.

🪨

Bohuslän Archipelago

Thousands of smooth granite islands and fishing villages along the Swedish coast north of Gothenburg.

🏙️

Gothenburg Skyline

A distant view of Sweden's second-largest city and its bustling harbor area.

🏞️

Kashubian Lake District

The lush, rolling hills and post-glacial lakes of northern Poland just before landing at GDN.

The right side offers the most scenic departure. Forward seats are recommended to see the intricate coastline of Norway and Sweden without wing obstruction. Evening flights offer spectacular sunsets over the North Sea to the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Østfold Woodlands

Dense Scandinavian pine forests and agricultural patches south of the Norwegian border.

🌊

Skåne Countryside

The flat, fertile plains of southern Sweden as the flight transitions toward the Baltic Sea.

🏖️

Hel Peninsula

A unique, 35km long sandbar visible on the approach to Gdańsk, separating the Bay of Puck from the Baltic.

🏗️

Port of Gdańsk

Aerial views of the massive industrial shipyards and the historic Westerplatte monument near the Vistula mouth.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is also best for seeing the narrow Hel Peninsula strip and the bustling maritime traffic entering the Gulf of Gdańsk during the final approach.
