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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Berlin city center shortly after takeoff and provides an iconic perspective of the Oresund Bridge and the approach into Oslofjord.

Right Side Highlights

🏙️

Berlin City Center

Direct views of the TV Tower, Museum Island, and the Spree river upon departure.

🏝️

Rügen Island

The famous white chalk cliffs of the German Baltic coast often visible from high altitude.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The iconic engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, with Malmö, Sweden.

⛴️

Oslofjord Panorama

Breathtaking views of the numerous islands and the Oslo skyline during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the most urban landmarks. Aim for morning flights to have the sun behind you for clearer photos of Sweden's west coast. During the landing phase at OSL, this side typically offers the best view of the Holmenkollen ski jump.

🌲

Grunewald Forest

Dense woodland and the winding Havel river on the western outskirts of Berlin.
