Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, and a stunning perspective of the French Riviera coastline during the final approach into Nice.
Oslofjord Islands
A bird's-eye view of the thousands of tiny islands and summer cabins dotting the fjord.
Jutland Peninsula
The sandy western coast of Denmark and the North Sea horizon are visible during mid-flight.
Mont Blanc
Europe's highest peak often appears as a massive white dome to the west of the flight path.
Estérel Massif
The striking red volcanic rocks of the Estérel mountains meeting the turquoise Mediterranean.
Cap d'Antibes
Exclusive villas and rocky coves are clearly visible as the aircraft makes its final turn over the sea.
Choose the right side for the most iconic mountain views, specifically the western Alps and Mont Blanc. During the 'Riviera' approach, the right side provides a sweeping panorama of the coastline from Cannes to Antibes. Be aware of the sun on afternoon southbound flights, which can be quite strong on this side.
Oslo & Holmenkollen
Panoramic views of the Norwegian capital and the iconic ski jump shortly after takeoff.
Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge connecting Copenhagen and Malmö is often visible while crossing the Baltic.
Austrian & Swiss Alps
Dramatic views of the eastern Alpine range and snow-capped peaks of the Tyrol region.
Monaco Coastline
Clear views of the Principality of Monaco and the glitzy harbors as the plane descends.
Promenade des Anglais
A front-row seat to Nice's famous beachfront and city center during the final seconds of landing.
Sit on the left for the best views of Nice city during landing. Afternoon flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and the Riviera without window glare.
