OSL โ WAW
Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Swedish lake district, the iconic Hel Peninsula on the Polish coast, and often provides the most direct view of the Warsaw city skyline during the standard approach.

Oslo Outskirts
Bird's-eye view of the dense forests and suburban settlements surrounding the Norwegian capital.
Lake Vรคttern
Sweden's deep, blue, finger-shaped lake, visible as you traverse the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Hel Peninsula
A striking 35km-long sandbar jutting into the Baltic Sea near the city of Gdaลsk.
Port of Gdynia
Large industrial docks and shipping vessels entering the Tri-City area of northern Poland.
Warsaw Skyline
The cluster of skyscrapers including the Palace of Culture and Science visible during the final descent.
Morning flights are highly recommended for this side as the sun is positioned to the east, perfectly illuminating the Polish coastline and the Vistula River. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing (rows 1-10) to get an unobstructed view of the Hel Peninsula's unique geography. In winter, the frozen Swedish lakes provide a high-contrast mosaic that is particularly photogenic.

This side is the winner for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Baltic Sea. During the mid-flight crossing, watch for the numerous offshore wind farms located between Sweden and Poland. If the flight path approaches from the west, you will get an excellent view of the Vistula River's natural, unchanneled banks before touching down at Chopin Airport.
