Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Oslo to Winnipeg. While takeoff offers Oslo fjord views, the landing approach provides more sustained scenic interest with the dramatic transition from boreal forest to prairie landscape and the Red River valley. Left-side seats capture this transition better during descent.

During takeoff from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Oslo's urban sprawl and the Oslofjord as the aircraft climbs northwestward. The fjord's intricate coastline and surrounding forested terrain provide immediate visual interest during the initial climb phase. Notable sights include: Oslofjord (immediate southeast), Oslo city center and suburbs (below), Nordmarka forest region (north), Tyrifjorden (visible further northwest during climb).

When landing at Winnipeg St Andrews (YAV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views of the Canadian Shield landscape, including lakes and boreal forest that dominate the approach to Winnipeg. The terrain becomes increasingly visible during descent, with the Red River valley and surrounding wetlands appearing on the left as the aircraft descends toward St Andrews. Notable sights include: Canadian Shield lakes and boreal forest (throughout approach), Red River valley (visible left during final descent), Winnipeg city lights and urban area (final approach), Assiniboine River confluence (visible near landing).

The flight from Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) to Winnipeg St Andrews (YAV) takes Approximately 9.5 to 10.5 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic, passing over the Norwegian Sea, Faroe Islands region (if visible at altitude), Iceland's southern coast (possible but often at distance), Greenland's eastern coast (high altitude, distant), Baffin Island, and Hudson Bay region. At cruise altitude (typically 35,000-37,000 feet), individual landmarks become small and distant. The most notable midpoint feature is the transition from Atlantic Ocean to the Canadian Arctic archipelago and boreal forest regions. Passengers on either side may glimpse Greenland's ice sheet and coastal features during daylight hours, though these appear as distant, hazy features on the horizon rather than dominant foreground elements.
