PUYOSL

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more direct and dramatic view of the Austrian Alps and a superior angle of the rugged Norwegian coastline and fjords upon approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Istrian Coastline

Aerial views of the crystal-clear Adriatic waters and the Brijuni Islands immediately after takeoff from Pula.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Spectacular views of the Hohe Tauern range and the snow-capped peaks of the High Alps during the climb.

🏰

Bavarian Heartland

A panorama of Southern Germany's rolling hills, forests, and the characteristic red-roofed villages.

🌾

Lüneburg Heath

The expansive purple and green heathlands of Northern Germany as the plane approaches the Baltic coast.

🚢

The Skagerrak

The strait between Denmark and Norway, often filled with large cargo ships and ferries heading to Oslo.

🌲

South Norwegian Valleys

Dense pine forests and rocky outcrops that define the entry into Norwegian airspace.

For the best experience, choose a flight departing around noon to avoid direct glare from the sun. The left side captures the setting sun on late-afternoon flights, casting a golden hue over the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 25 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic mountain peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Kvarner Gulf Islands

Bird's-eye views of Cres and Lošinj islands nestled in the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🏘️

Salzburg Environs

Views toward the historic city of Salzburg and the winding Salzach River valley.

🏙️

Berlin Hinterland

The flat, lake-dotted landscape of Brandenburg as the flight bypasses the German capital to the west.

🌉

Danish Archipelago

The intricate network of islands including Zealand and the bridges connecting the Danish mainland.

⛴️

Oslofjord

A magnificent view of the islands and inlets of the Oslofjord during the final descent into Gardermoen.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Croatian islands and the Danish coast perfectly. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, the right side provides a classic view of the ferry routes and tiny summer cottages dotting the islands of the Oslofjord.
