Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Oslofjord exit, the Swedish-Danish maritime border, and the iconic Berlin skyline including the TV Tower during the final approach.
Oslo City Center
Clear views of the Oslo Opera House, Barcode district, and Aker Brygge immediately after takeoff heading south.
Øresund Bridge
On clear days, the massive bridge connecting Copenhagen and Malmö is visible as you cross the Baltic.
Rügen Island
The white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park on the German Baltic coast often appear during the descent.
Mecklenburg Lake District
A stunning network of over 1,000 lakes in Northern Germany creates a blue mosaic pattern below.
Berlin TV Tower
The Fernsehturm and the dense urban sprawl of central Berlin are prominent features on the left side during the landing sequence.
Book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. On the approach to the Berlin area, keep your camera ready as soon as the plane crosses the German coastline. If the flight path tracks slightly east, you'll get an unparalleled view of the Berlin city center architecture.
Vestfold Coastline
The western side of the Oslofjord, featuring the historic towns of Tønsberg and Sandefjord.
Jutland Peninsula
Aerial views of the flat, emerald-green agricultural heartland of mainland Denmark.
Fehmarn Belt
Watch for the heavy maritime traffic in the shipping lanes between Germany and Denmark.
Potsdam Palaces
The Sanssouci Palace gardens and the surrounding lakes of Potsdam are visible just before touchdown.
Grunewald Forest
The large green lung of western Berlin provides a sharp contrast to the urban environment during the final miles.
The right side (Seat F) is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the North Sea horizon. This side provides excellent views of the Brandenburg forest and lake systems. Watch for the distinct hexagonal terminal of the former Tegel airport if the approach path allows for a wide western loop.
