VNO → OSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers better perspectives of the Swedish archipelago and typically provides a clear view of the Oslo city center and the Holmenkollen ski jump during the final descent into Gardermoen.
Aukštaitija Landscapes
Views of the lush Lithuanian forests and lake districts as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude.
Öland and Gotland
Depending on the flight path, you may spot these significant Swedish islands and the unique geography of the Swedish coast.
Swedish Lakeland
Crossing over southern Sweden provides views of the endless forests and numerous lakes characteristic of the Nordic interior.
Oslo City Center
On typical northern approaches, the right side offers a panoramic view of downtown Oslo, the Opera House, and the Aker Brygge waterfront.
Holmenkollen
The iconic ski jump is often visible on the hillside to the right during the final minutes of the flight.
The right side is the 'money side' for Oslo arrivals. To maximize the experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the city. During winter months, midday flights offer the best lighting as the sun remains low in the southern sky.
Vilnius Old Town
Aerial view of the red-tiled roofs and historic spires of one of Europe's largest surviving medieval old towns shortly after takeoff.
Baltic Horizon
A vast expanse of the Baltic Sea, often reflecting the sun during midday or afternoon flights.
Tønsberg & Færder
On the western approach to Oslo, look for the oldest town in Norway and the scenic coastal islands of Vestfold.
Western Oslofjord
Dramatic views of the rugged coastline and small inlets on the western side of the fjord as the plane begins its descent.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be to the south/west. This side is also excellent for spotting the Vestfold coastline just before turning north toward the airport.
