Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Amsterdam. The left side captures the dramatic Oslofjord departure, which is the most visually distinctive moment of the flight. The cruise over Denmark and the North Sea is relatively featureless from altitude, so the takeoff view is the highlight and left wins overall.

During takeoff from Oslo Fornebu (FBU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Fornebu's main runway (06/24) means departures heading southwest give the left side a direct view over the Oslofjord and the city of Oslo. The fjord's narrow inlet and the surrounding forested hills are clearly visible as you climb out over the water. Notable sights include: Oslofjord inlet, Oslo city centre to the northeast, Bygdøy peninsula, Nesodden forested headland.

When landing at Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Schiphol's most common landing approach on runway 18R/36L or 06/24 from the northeast brings the right side over the Dutch polder landscape and the southern edge of Amsterdam. The right seat gets a clear look at the flat reclaimed land, canal networks, and the city's southern districts on final approach. Notable sights include: Amsterdam southern suburbs, Dutch polder canal grid, Haarlemmermeer polder (Schiphol sits within it), greenhouse complexes near Aalsmeer.

The flight from Oslo Fornebu (FBU) to Schiphol (AMS) takes Approximately 2 hours.

The flight tracks southwest over the Skagerrak strait between Norway and Denmark, then crosses Jutland (the Danish mainland) with its flat agricultural landscape and small towns visible on clear days. The route then passes over the North Sea or the southern tip of Sweden and crosses into the Netherlands over the flat coastal lowlands of Groningen and North Holland.
