TOSOSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Tromsø Airport, (Tromso) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the rugged Norwegian coastline, featuring the dramatic peaks of Senja, distant views of the Lofoten archipelago, and the intricate islands of the Helgeland coast.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Senja Island

The 'Norway in miniature' island, showcasing razor-sharp mountain ridges meeting the Atlantic Ocean.

🏔️

Svartisen Glacier

A massive blue-white ice field, Norway's second largest glacier, visible nestled among coastal mountains.

🌊

Helgeland Archipelago

A mesmerizing view of thousands of small islands and the famous Seven Sisters mountain range.

🏔️

Jotunheimen

Norway's highest mountain range, appearing on the horizon as the flight moves into southern territory.

⚓

Oslofjord Approach

Views of the winding coastline and suburban forest belts as the aircraft aligns with the OSL runway.

Request a seat forward of the wing (Rows 1-10) to ensure the engine and wing don't block the view of the coastline. In summer, the late evening 'Golden Hour' light provides incredible contrast on the coastal cliffs. Keep your camera ready about 25-35 minutes into the flight for the best glacier views.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Lyngen Alps

Sharp alpine peaks and glaciers located east of Tromsø, visible shortly after departure.

❄️

Saltfjellet

The high mountain plateau where the flight crosses the Arctic Circle, often covered in snow year-round.

🌊

Lake Mjøsa

Norway's largest lake, providing a landmark reference during the descent into the Oslo region.

Sit on the left side during evening winter flights for the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis away from the coastal weather systems. During the day, look for the deep valleys of the interior and the transition from arctic tundra to dense southern forests.
