Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Helsinki to Oslo. While the takeoff offers good views from the right, the landing approach from the left provides more dramatic and varied scenery—the Oslofjord is more visually striking than the departure over the archipelago, and the descent offers extended views of both the fjord and Oslo's urban geography.

During takeoff from Helsinki Malmi (HEM), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the departure climb over the Gulf of Finland and the Helsinki metropolitan area. The aircraft typically departs eastbound or northeastbound from HEM, giving right-side passengers views of the coastal archipelago and the city's waterfront districts. Notable sights include: Gulf of Finland (Suomenlahti), Helsinki city center and harbor, Uusimaa archipelago with scattered islands, Lake Tuusula to the north.

When landing at Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best views during descent into Oslo. Aircraft typically approach from the east or southeast, and left-side passengers see the Oslofjord, the city's eastern suburbs, and the forested hills surrounding the airport at Gardermoen. Notable sights include: Oslofjord (Oslofjorden), Oslo city center and harbor district, Marka forest and surrounding hills, Lake Mjøsa visible to the northeast.

The flight from Helsinki Malmi (HEM) to Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) takes Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Swedish border and passes over the forested regions of eastern Sweden (Värmland and Dalarna provinces). Notable midpoint features include numerous lakes scattered throughout the boreal forest, the Göta älv river valley visible in some conditions, and the transition from Finnish archipelago terrain to the rolling Scandinavian shield landscape. The flight typically maintains 25,000–32,000 feet over this segment, making individual lakes appear as small reflective patches among dense green forest.
