Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Stavanger. While right seats offer good views during takeoff, left seats provide superior views during the longer descent phase and approach to Stavanger, where the dramatic Boknafjorden fjord system and coastal geography are the flight's most distinctive visual features. The approach phase typically lasts longer than takeoff.

During takeoff from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), sit on the Right side for the best views. OSL typically departs runway 01L/01R (northbound) or 19L/19R (southbound). For westbound flights to Stavanger, northbound departure is standard. Right-side seats offer views of the Lilehammer region and the eastern shore of Lake Mjøsa as you climb westward, while left seats face inland toward forested terrain. Notable sights include: Lake Mjøsa (Norway's largest lake, visible as a long dark water body to the right), Lilehammer town and surrounding valleys, Gudbrandsdalslagen river valley, forested ridges of eastern Norway.

When landing at Stavanger Sola (SVG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Stavanger approaches typically use runway 09 (eastbound) or 27 (westbound). For flights from Oslo, eastbound approach (runway 09) is standard, requiring descent from the east. Left-side seats provide views of the Boknafjorden fjord system, the North Sea coastline, and Stavanger's coastal setting, while right seats face inland over less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Boknafjorden fjord (major fjord system with multiple arms), Stavanger city and harbor on the Byfjorden peninsula, North Sea coastline with rocky islands and skerries, Rogaland coastal lowlands.

The flight from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) to Stavanger Sola (SVG) takes Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses westward over central Norway's forested terrain, passing south of the Hardangervidda plateau region. Notable features include the transition from inland lakes and valleys to the coastal fjord systems of Hordaland and Rogaland counties. The Hardangerfjorden and its tributary valleys become visible to the left (south) during mid-flight descent. The landscape transitions from boreal forest to more open coastal terrain with increasing fjord complexity as you approach Stavanger.
