OSLVXO

Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Växjö Kronoberg Airport (Vaxjo)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Oslofjord during departure and a front-row seat to the massive expanse of Lake Vänern, Europe's third-largest lake, for a significant portion of the flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛴️

Oslofjord

Excellent views of the islands and maritime traffic exiting the Norwegian capital if taking off towards the south.

🌊

Lake Vänern

The highlight of the route, featuring the vast blue expanse and the archipelago of Djurö National Park.

🏰

Läckö Castle

A glimpse of the white baroque castle sitting on the edge of the Kållandsö peninsula in Lake Vänern.

⛰️

Kinnekulle

The famous 'flowering mountain' plateau that rises distinctively from the flat plains near the lake shore.

🏡

Småland Countryside

Classic Swedish vistas of red cottages and stone walls as the plane approaches Växjö.

The right side is superior for sunset flights as the sun reflects off the massive surface of Lake Vänern. For the best photos, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the engine against the vast water horizon. During winter, look for the unique ice formations along the northern Vänern coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Glomma River Valley

View Norway's longest river as it winds through the lush landscape of Østlandet shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Finnskogen Forests

The dense, mystical border forests between Norway and Sweden, historically home to the Forest Finns.

🛶

Värmland Lake District

A mosaic of thousands of small, interconnected lakes including the northern reaches of the Fryken valley.

🏞️

Lake Vättern Horizon

On clear days, the long, narrow silhouette of Sweden's second-largest lake is visible to the east during the descent.

Sit on the left for softer morning light and better views of the dense Swedish interior. This side is particularly scenic in autumn when the deciduous patches among the pines turn vibrant colors. Watch for the sharp transition from the rugged Norwegian terrain to the more undulating Swedish highlands.
