OSL → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views of the Swedish archipelago and a better angle for the Vistula River and eastern Krakow districts during the final approach.
Oslofjord East
Aerial views of the eastern shore of the Oslofjord, featuring the Drøbak Sound and forested hills of Viken.
Swedish Archipelago
Dense clusters of islands and rocky outcrops near Gothenburg and the Swedish west coast.
Bornholm Island
The isolated Danish Baltic island, clearly visible as a green diamond in the blue sea.
Gdańsk Bay
Glimpses of the Hel Peninsula and the industrial ports of northern Poland.
Vistula River Meanders
Dramatic loops of Poland's longest river as the flight descends into the Lesser Poland region.
Select the left side for morning flights to witness the sun reflecting off the Baltic Sea. During landing at KRK, you have a high chance of seeing the Nowa Huta district and the industrial outskirts of the city.
Telemark Highlands
Rugged terrain and distant snow-capped peaks of southern Norway shortly after takeoff.
Rügen Cliffs
The white chalk cliffs of the German island of Rügen are often visible across the water.
Oder Delta
The complex network of lagoons and islands where the Oder River meets the Baltic Sea.
Jurassic Upland
Limestone formations and castle ruins of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland during the descent phase.
Tatra Mountains
On very clear days, the high-altitude peaks of the Tatras appear on the southern horizon.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct glare and catch the sunset. Watch closely during the final 10 minutes for the limestone cliffs of the Jura region.
