VIE β OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Swedish coastline and a more dramatic reveal of the Oslofjord and the Norwegian capital during the final descent into Gardermoen.
Danube Wetlands
Lush green floodplains of the Donau-Auen National Park visible immediately after take-off from VIE.
Berlin Skyline
A sweeping view of the German capital, including the Fernsehturm and Tempelhofer Feld depending on the air corridor.
Swedish West Coast
The rocky archipelago near Gothenburg and the beautiful Swedish coastline leading up to the border.
Oslo City Center
A spectacular view of the Barcode district, Aker Brygge, and the Holmenkollen ski jump on final approach.
Norwegian Forests
The vast, deep green expanse of the Γstmarka and Nordmarka forests surrounding the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane. During the landing phase at OSL, this side typically offers the best view of the city if the aircraft approaches from the south (Runway 01L/R).
Prague Cityscape
Aerial views of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava River shortly after departure.
Leipzig Area
Look for the dense urban core and surrounding lakes of this major eastern German hub.
Jutland Peninsula
The western coastline of Denmark and the transition into the North Sea's Skagerrak strait.
West Oslofjord
The rugged inlets and forested hills characterizing the western side of the fjord approach.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. On late afternoon flights, you will likely face direct sun for the majority of the journey, which can make photography difficult due to glare.
