OSLPRG

Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more iconic sequence of landmarks, including the best views of the Oslofjord upon departure and the dramatic Elbe Sandstone Mountains during the descent into Prague.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Oslofjord Islands

Aerial view of the intricate network of islands and inlets immediately after takeoff from OSL.

🌉

Øresund Region

Views of the Swedish coastline and, depending on the airway, the bridge connecting Malmö to Copenhagen.

🏙️

Berlin Metropolitan Area

On clear days, the vast urban expanse of the German capital is visible to the East mid-flight.

⛰️

Saxon Switzerland

Stunning sandstone formations and deep valleys near the German-Czech border during initial descent.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the Oslofjord. For morning flights, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Swedish coast and the Bohemian landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Southern Norwegian Coast

The rugged southern tip of Norway and the transition into the Skagerrak sea.

🌾

Jutland Peninsula

The flat, patchwork agricultural fields of Denmark stretching toward the North Sea.

🚢

Port of Hamburg

Distant views of one of Europe's largest ports and the Elbe river estuary.

🌲

Ore Mountains

The dense forests of the Krušné hory range marking the natural border into the Czech Republic.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a close watch approximately 20 minutes before landing for the winding Elbe River as it enters the Czech Republic.
