OSL → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the North Sea coastline, the right side is preferred for the approach into Orly, which often provides a distant but iconic view of the Eiffel Tower and central Paris landmarks.
Search flights from OSL to ORY
Skagerrak & North Sea
The expansive water between Norway and Denmark, often dotted with massive cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of islands and the Wadden Sea mudflats stretching along the Dutch and German coastlines.
Port of Rotterdam
Europe's largest port is visible with its distinct industrial layout and massive container terminals.
Paris Cityscape
During the standard approach to Orly (ORY), the right side frequently offers a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine.
The right side is the 'money side' for the Paris approach. To maximize your chances of seeing the Eiffel Tower, watch for the plane to begin its turn south of the city. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut through the haze over the North Sea.

The scenic eastern shore of the fjord as you depart Norway, featuring lush forests and small coastal towns.
Jutland Peninsula
A clear view of the Danish mainland's agricultural patterns and the city of Aarhus if the flight path is slightly inland.
Brussels Metropolitan Area
The dense urban sprawl of the Belgian capital is often visible as you transition into French airspace.
Picardy Plains
Historical landscapes of Northern France characterized by vast open fields and remnants of WWI battlefields.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunrise on morning flights. This side is also excellent for spotting the inland topography of the Benelux region. Afternoon flights may suffer from direct sun glare during the southern transit.
