Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Newark. Left side wins both ends of the flight. At departure you get the Oslofjord and Oslo city views, and at arrival you get the full Manhattan and New York Harbor panorama on descent into Newark. The right side offers little of comparable interest at either airport.

During takeoff from Oslo Fornebu (FBU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Fornebu's main runway (06/24) means westbound departures head roughly northwest over the Oslofjord. The left side gives you the fjord itself and the city of Oslo spreading up into the Nordmarka hills. Right side faces south toward Nesodden peninsula but misses the dramatic fjord opening. Notable sights include: Oslofjord inner basin, Oslo city center and Aker Brygge waterfront, Holmenkollen ridge to the northwest, Bygdøy peninsula.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR's primary westbound arrivals on runway 22L/22R bring you in from the northeast over New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan. The left side faces southeast, giving you the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty in the harbor, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge as you descend. Right side looks northwest toward the New Jersey industrial flatlands. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty and Upper New York Bay, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Brooklyn waterfront.

The flight from Oslo Fornebu (FBU) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 8 to 9 hours.

The flight tracks northwest from Oslo across southern Norway, then over the Norwegian Sea and North Atlantic. You cross the southern tip of Greenland, where the ice sheet and coastal fjords are visible on clear days. The route then passes south of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia before crossing the Gulf of Maine and descending over New England toward New York. Mid-ocean is open North Atlantic with occasional sea ice and icebergs near Greenland latitudes.
