OSL → MXP
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides provide an incredible crossing of the Alps, the Right Side is slightly superior due to the spectacular views of Lake Constance and the nearly guaranteed close-up of Lake Maggiore during the final approach into Malpensa.

Skagerrak Coastline
Beautiful views of the rugged southern Norwegian coast and the sandy tips of northern Denmark.
Rhine River Valley
The winding path of one of Europe's most historic rivers through western Germany.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A massive turquoise lake where the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.
Bernese Oberland
Iconic Swiss peaks including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau visible during the high-altitude Alpine crossing.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning, low-altitude view of the Borromean Islands and the Piedmont shoreline just minutes before landing.
This is the 'money' side for the approach into MXP. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to see Lake Maggiore, which is the visual highlight of the trip. The sun will be on this side for afternoon flights, so bring sunglasses for the bright Alpine reflections.

Oslofjord
Aerial view of the intricate inlets and islands south of the Norwegian capital immediately after takeoff.
Danish Belt
Clear views of the Great Belt Bridge and the patchwork landscape of the Danish islands.
Hamburg Metro
The massive port infrastructure and Elbe river are often visible as the flight path crosses northern Germany.
Austrian & Eastern Swiss Alps
A vast panorama of jagged, snow-capped peaks as the aircraft reaches its highest scenic point.
Milan Skyline
Distances views of the Garibaldi and CityLife skyscrapers as the plane turns for its final approach.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the Harz Mountains in central Germany roughly midway through the flight. During winter, the Alpine transition provides exceptional light for photography on this side.
