About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Pyrzowice (KTW) to Oslo Gardermoen (OSL)?

Right seats miss the fjord's visual impact entirely.

What does the Katowice to Oslo flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses central Poland northwestward, passing over the Vistula River valley and Warsaw region (visible from altitude as a major urban cluster around 52°N), then enters the North European Plain. Over Germany and Denmark, the landscape transitions to agricultural flatlands with scattered lakes. Crossing into southern Sweden and Norway, terrain becomes increasingly forested with visible lakes and fjord systems. The Scandinavian Shield's ancient bedrock creates a distinctive pattern of dark forests, blue water, and rocky outcrops visible from cruise altitude, particularly noticeable as the aircraft descends toward Oslo.
