Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the high-altitude Hardangervidda plateau to the deep fjord systems and islands of the west coast.
Search flights from OSL to SVG
Tyrifjorden
The large, branching lake system west of Oslo, often the first major landmark visible.
Hardangervidda Plateau
Breathtaking views of Europe's largest mountain plateau, featuring arctic-like tundra.
Glacial Peaks
Distant sightings of the Hardangerjøkulen and Folgefonna glaciers on clear days to the northwest.
Boknafjorden
The massive fjord complex north of Stavanger, filled with hundreds of small islands.
Preikestolen Hinterland
The dramatic mountain landscape near the entrance to the world-famous Lysefjord during descent.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Try to secure a seat well forward of the wing to capture the descent over the Stavanger archipelago. On morning flights, the lighting is perfect for highlighting the textures of the mountain plateau. During the final approach, look for the sharp cliff edges of the Lysefjord region appearing to the north.

Oslo Panorama
Expansive views of the capital city and the inner Oslofjord immediately after departure.
Gaustatoppen
The iconic conical peak of Telemark's highest mountain, visible standing alone to the south.
Telemark Wilderness
A tapestry of deep valleys, dense forests, and high-altitude lakes typical of southern Norway.
Jæren Beaches
The distinctive flat coastline and white sandy beaches visible if approaching Sola from the south.
Energy Hubs
Views of the industrial ports and supply bases that serve Norway's offshore oil and gas sector.
Opt for the left side on late afternoon or evening flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side provides a more stable light for photographing the rugged Telemark terrain. If the wind dictates a northern approach (Landing Runway 18), the left side offers the best views of the Jæren agricultural plains just before touchdown.
