OSLLIS

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a stunning sequence of coastal views, from the rugged fjords of Southern Norway and the English Channel to the dramatic 'Rias' of Galicia and the Atlantic coastline of Portugal, culminating in a beautiful approach near Sintra.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🚢

North Sea & Skagerrak

Expansive views of the maritime traffic lanes where the Baltic and North Seas meet off the coast of Denmark.

🌊

English Channel & Brittany

The distinct coastline of northwestern France, often showing the rugged cliffs of the Brittany peninsula.

🐋

Bay of Biscay

A vast crossing of the deep blue Atlantic, where sunlight often creates stunning glints on the ocean surface.

🦀

Galician Rias

The unique, fjord-like drowned river valleys of Northwest Spain, known for their emerald waters and seafood culture.

🏰

Sintra Mountains

The mystical hills of Sintra and the westernmost point of continental Europe, Cabo da Roca, are visible during the descent.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Atlantic. This side is superior for coastal enthusiasts, especially during the descent into Lisbon when the Estoril coast and Cascais become visible. During the winter months, look for snow on the Picos de Europa mountains in northern Spain as you cross the coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Oslofjord

Aerial view of the intricate islands and inlets of the Oslofjord immediately after takeoff from Gardermoen.

🏙️

Western European Cities

Glimpses of major urban hubs like Brussels or Paris depending on the specific airway taken over the continent.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding Loire River and its surrounding lush greenery as the flight crosses central France toward the Bay of Biscay.

🌾

Portuguese Hinterland

The transition from the green mountains of the north to the sun-drenched, golden plains of central Portugal.

🌉

Tagus Estuary

A grand view of the wide Tagus River and the Vasco da Gama Bridge if the flight approaches Lisbon from the northeast.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. On arrival, if the plane lands on Runway 21, you will get a great view of the residential areas of Lisbon and the 25 de Abril Bridge in the distance. Keep an eye out for the transition between the lush French countryside and the more arid Iberian landscape.
