Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Alesund. While takeoff favors left for Mjøsa views, the landing approach over Geirangerfjord and the Sunnmøre Alps is the visual highlight of this route. Right seats capture the most dramatic and distinctive scenery—the deep fjords and coastal mountains that define western Norway.

During takeoff from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), sit on the Left side for the best views. OSL typically departs runway 01L/01R (northbound) or 19L/19R (southbound). Northbound departures favor left seats for views of Mjøsa lake and the forested terrain north of Oslo. Southbound departures on right seats would show the Oslo fjord, but northbound is more common for AES routing. Notable sights include: Mjøsa (Norway's largest lake, visible as a long dark water body), Lillehammer region to the north, forested valleys of Oppland, Raufoss industrial area.

When landing at Vigra (AES), sit on the Right side for the best views. Approach to AES (Vigra) typically uses runway 11 or 29 depending on wind. Right seats capture the dramatic approach over Geirangerfjord and the coastal mountain terrain. The descent path brings aircraft over the fjord system and steep coastal peaks that define this region visually. Notable sights include: Geirangerfjord (deep blue fjord with steep granite walls), Trollstigen mountain pass region, Sunnmøre Alps (jagged peaks), coastal islands and skerries near Alesund.

The flight from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) to Vigra (AES) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses from the Oslo interior (Oppland forests and lakes) northwest toward the coast. Notable midpoint features include the Gudbrandsdalslagen valley system, Lillehammer area, then transitions into the Romboleden and Romsdal valleys. The aircraft climbs over the Scandinavian mountain spine (Dovre range foothills), crosses into Møre og Romsdal county, and descends toward the fjord-carved coastal terrain. Geirangerfjord and Trollstigen pass become visible in the final 20 minutes of descent. The route follows a northwest corridor that showcases the transition from interior forests to dramatic coastal fjord geography.
