Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Øresund Bridge and the twin cities of Copenhagen and Malmö, followed by the stunning Swedish coastline and the approach into the Oslofjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Berlin Skyline

Immediate views of the Fernsehturm and the dense urban landscape of Berlin shortly after takeoff from the south.

⚓

Warnemünde & Rostock

The German Baltic coast where the Warnow river meets the sea, often filled with massive cruise ships.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The spectacular 8km bridge and tunnel complex that links Denmark to Sweden across the blue straits.

🛫

Copenhagen & Malmö

A perfect bird's-eye view of two countries at once, featuring the unique Saltholm island and CPH airport.

🌲

Swedish West Coast

The granite archipelago and dense forests of the Bohuslän region as the plane tracks north toward Norway.

🏝️

Oslofjord Islands

A dense cluster of small, inhabited islands with colorful summer cabins just before touching down.

The right side is essential for seeing the Øresund Bridge, which occurs roughly 35-45 minutes into the flight. Choose a morning flight for the best light on the Swedish coastline, and avoid the wing area to get a clear view of the intricate Oslofjord islands during the low-altitude approach.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🛶

Mecklenburg Lake District

View the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' in Northern Germany, featuring expansive blue waters and lush greenery.

🌉

Great Belt Bridge

A distant but clear view of the suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.

🏘️

Aarhus Coastline

The eastern coast of the Jutland peninsula and Denmark's second-largest city nestled by the Kattegat sea.

🚢

Sandefjord Entrance

The western entrance to the Oslofjord, characterized by rocky inlets and busy ferry lanes from Central Europe.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the North Sea during the final descent. It is also the better side for viewing the rugged western shores of the Oslofjord during the landing pattern into OSL.
