OSL → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Danish coastline, the industrial scale of Hamburg, and most importantly, a stunning panoramic view of the Alps during the descent into Munich.
Jutland Coastline
The sandy western edge of Denmark where the land meets the North Sea.
Hamburg & The Elbe
Aerial view of Germany's largest port and the sprawling Alster lake.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak.
Allianz Arena
The iconic, illuminated home of Bayern Munich is often visible just north of the city.
The Alps
On clear days, the entire northern Alpine chain provides a dramatic backdrop during the descent.
The right side is essential for viewing the Alps on arrival in Munich. If landing from the east, you will have a direct view of the mountain range to the south. For photography, use a fast shutter speed to capture the Danish coastline through potential cloud gaps.
Oslofjord Departure
Excellent views of the Oslo archipelago and the city skyline immediately after takeoff.
Danish Islands
A clear perspective of the islands of Lolland and Falster and the bridges connecting them.
Nuremberg
Views of the historic city center and the distinct imperial castle as you cross into Bavaria.
Bavarian Forest
Dense, rolling green landscapes that define the border region between Germany and Czechia.
Erdinger Moos
The flat, agricultural landscape surrounding Munich Airport during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the best views of the Oslofjord. This side is also better for spotting the Baltic Sea transition and the historic layout of Nuremberg during the mid-flight phase.
