Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Oslofjord on departure and a more direct look at the Swedish island of Gotland and the vast Moscow urban landscape during the final approach.

Oslo City Center
Clear views of the Aker Brygge, the Opera House, and the city's unique urban layout during the initial climb.
Gotland Island
The distinct shape of Sweden's largest island appearing as a limestone jewel in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Baltic Coastline
Views of the Latvian and Lithuanian shores, including the Curonian Spit if the path takes a southerly arc.
Moscow Skyline
On the descent into SVO, look for the 'Seven Sisters' Stalinist skyscrapers and the modern Moscow City towers.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to maximize the view of the Oslofjord. For evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Baltic Sea. During winter, the landscape is often covered in a pristine white blanket, making urban lights stand out more vividly.

Oslofjord North
Aerial view of the northern reaches of the fjord and the surrounding wooded hills of Nordmarka.
Swedish Taiga
Stunning stretches of dense coniferous forests and scattered glacial lakes across central Sweden.
Lake Peipus
The fifth-largest lake in Europe, serving as a natural border between Estonia and the Russian Federation.
Valdai Hills
The gentle, snow-dusted elevations of the Russian Upland as you move toward the heart of the country.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare from the south. This side is also better for spotting the lights of St. Petersburg in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly further north.
