Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Godthaab. While takeoff favors the right for Oslofjord views, the landing approach to Nuuk is significantly more dramatic and visually rewarding on the left, with the fjord system and Davis Strait providing the flight's most distinctive geography. The left side captures the destination's defining landscape.

During takeoff from Oslo Fornebu (FBU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Oslo Fornebu typically departs runway 01 (northbound) or 19 (southbound). Right-side seats offer views of the Oslofjord's eastern shoreline and the forested hills of Akershus immediately after departure. Left seats face inland toward the city and lose the water views quickly. Notable sights include: Oslofjord (directly below during initial climb), Akershus Fortress district on the eastern shore, forested ridgelines of the Nordmarka region extending northeast.

When landing at Nuuk (GOH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approach to Nuuk typically uses runway 07 (eastbound) or 25 (westbound). Left-side seats during descent offer views of the Davis Strait, the Nuuk Fjord system, and the dramatic ice-carved valleys surrounding the city. Right seats face inland toward the Greenlandic ice sheet interior. Notable sights include: Nuuk Fjord with its characteristic branching arms, Davis Strait (open water), glacially-carved valleys with steep dark rock faces, scattered icebergs in fjord waters (seasonal).

The flight from Oslo Fornebu (FBU) to Nuuk (GOH) takes Approximately 4 hours 15 minutes.

The route crosses the North Sea and Norwegian Sea, then transitions over the Denmark Strait. Midway, you'll pass over open ocean with occasional views of the Shetland Islands (far left, if visible) and the Faroe Islands region. The final approach crosses the Davis Strait with views of Greenland's western coast—a dramatic transition from water to the ice-carved fjord landscape surrounding Nuuk. Icebergs become visible in the fjord system during descent.
