PLQ β†’ OSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Palanga International Airport (Palanga) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior geographic variety, offering an immediate view of the Lithuanian coastline followed by the vast Swedish lakeland district and dense Scandinavian forests.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
πŸ–οΈ

Palanga Shoreline

A beautiful bird's-eye view of the white sand beaches and the Baltic Sea immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Swedish Lakeland

Look out for the massive Lake VΓ€ttern, a prominent geographical landmark in southern Sweden.

🌲

Boreal Forests

Dense, sprawling carpets of evergreen forests stretching across the Swedish and Norwegian border regions.

🏘️

Oslo Hinterland

Charming rural landscapes and small towns northeast of Oslo as the plane aligns for landing.

❄️

Snowy Wilderness

In winter, this side offers a magical view of the frozen landscape and snow-covered pines.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Swedish lakes. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Palanga coast and again halfway through the flight for the inland Swedish geography.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Baltic Sea Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Baltic Sea as you leave the Lithuanian coast behind.

πŸ›₯️

Oslofjord Entrance

Dramatic views of the Norwegian coastline and the southern entrance to the fjord near Sandefjord.

πŸ”οΈ

Vestfold Shoreline

Rugged coastal terrain and small islands characteristic of southern Norway during the descent.

πŸŒ…

Sunset Horizon

On late afternoon or evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the North Sea direction.

Opt for the left side on evening flights to enjoy the sunset without the harsh glare of the midday sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight as you enter Norwegian airspace and track along the western edge of the Oslofjord.
