Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Palanga International Airport (Palanga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it captures the intricate islands of the Oslofjord during departure and the spectacular UNESCO-listed Curonian Spit just before landing in Palanga.

Oslofjord Islands
A stunning bird's-eye view of the densely packed islands and summer cabins dotting the fjord south of the capital.
Lake Vättern
Look down to see the crystal-clear, deep blue waters of Sweden's second-largest lake, stretching north to south.
Curonian Spit
The absolute highlight; a narrow, 98km-long sand dune peninsula separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Palanga Shoreline
On final approach, see the famous 'L' shaped sea pier and the white sand beaches of the Lithuanian Riviera.
The right side is a must for the arrival. As the plane descends into Palanga, the Curonian Spit (Neringa) will be clearly visible out of the right window. Aim for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the sand dunes and the coastline perfectly for photography. Watch for the distinct 'green-to-blue' transition of the Baltic waters near the shore.

Øyeren Nature Reserve
Just after takeoff, view Northern Europe's largest inland delta where the Glomma river meets Lake Øyeren.
Småland Highlands
Dense, rolling Swedish forests dotted with thousands of small, dark blue lakes typical of the Nordic landscape.
Kalmar & Öland
In the distance to the east, you may spot the Swedish mainland coast near Kalmar and the long, flat silhouette of Öland island.
The Baltic Deep
A wide expanse of the Baltic Sea during the mid-flight crossing, often filled with cargo ships heading to Klaipėda.
Sit on the left if you prefer the soft morning light when flying south-east. It offers better views of the Swedish interior and the distant Baltic islands of Gotland and Öland if the flight path is slightly more easterly. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the haze over the Baltic Sea.
