Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Tromso. While takeoff favors the right for Mjøsa views, the landing approach to TOS from the left provides the most dramatic and distinctive scenery—the fjord, mountains, and city layout are far more visually rewarding than the relatively flat terrain on the right during descent.

During takeoff from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), sit on the Right side for the best views. OSL typically departs runway 01L/01R (northbound). Right-side seats offer views of the Mjøsa lake system and the forested terrain north of Oslo as you climb. Left side faces back toward the city and built-up areas. Notable sights include: Mjøsa (Norway's largest lake, visible as a long dark water body), Lillehammer region to the north, forested valleys of Oppland, Romerike plains to the east.

When landing at Tromso (TOS), sit on the Left side for the best views. TOS uses runway 09/27; approach typically comes from the south or southwest. Left-side seats during descent show Tromsøya island, the Tromsø Bridge, and the dramatic fjord landscape with surrounding mountains. Right side faces open water and offers less distinctive landmarks. Notable sights include: Tromsøya island (the main island where the city sits), Tromsø Bridge (distinctive cable-stayed structure connecting island to mainland), Tromsø fjord with steep mountainous shorelines, Tromsdalstinden mountain rising behind the city.

The flight from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) to Tromso (TOS) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

The route climbs north through central Norway, crossing the Scandinavian mountain spine. Notable features include the Dovre Mountains (visible as a distant ridge around 30 minutes into flight), the transition from forested lowlands to subarctic terrain, and the Trøndelag region's valleys. By cruise altitude, you'll see the landscape transition from green forest to increasingly sparse vegetation and exposed rock as you approach the Arctic Circle (crossed roughly 90 minutes into flight). The Lyngen Alps appear on the right (east) side during final descent into Tromsø.
