SVO β OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Baltic coastline, the Stockholm archipelago, and the scenic approach through the Oslofjord.
Moscow Cityscape
Aerial perspective of the sprawling Russian capital and its northern suburban architecture shortly after takeoff.
Baltic Coastline
Clear views of the Estonian and Latvian coastlines as the flight crosses into the Baltic Sea.
Stockholm Archipelago
Thousands of tiny islands and islets dotting the Swedish coast near the mid-point of the journey.
Oslofjord
The dramatic water entrance to Norway, featuring winding channels and busy maritime shipping lanes.
Oslo City and Harbor
A glimpse of the city center and the iconic waterfront developments during the final descent phase.
Sit on the left for sunset views over the water on evening flights. During the final approach into OSL from the south, the left side typically offers the best view of the Oslofjord and the city's modern barcode district.
St. Petersburg Vicinity
Distant views of the Gulf of Finland and the historic 'Northern Venice' to the north.
Finnish Lake District
The intricate patterns of thousands of lakes visible across the horizon in Southern Finland.
Lake VΓ€nern
Sweden's largest lake, appearing like a small sea with its vast blue expanse and scattered islands.
Scandinavian Forests
Dense, sprawling taiga forests that characterize the landscape of inland Sweden and Norway.
Romerike Hills
The rolling hills and rugged Norwegian terrain immediately surrounding the Gardermoen airport area.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a great view of the inland geography and the transition from the flat Russian plains to the rugged Scandinavian Shield.
