Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Stavanger to Oslo. While takeoff from Stavanger favors the right, the landing approach into Oslo from the west strongly favors left seats, providing extended views of the Oslofjord and approach corridor. The landing experience outweighs the brief takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Stavanger Sola (SVG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats offer views of Stavanger city and the Boknafjord system as you climb eastward. The fjord's complex inlet structure and surrounding low mountains are distinctive from altitude, whereas left seats face the North Sea with minimal landmarks. Notable sights include: Stavanger city center, Boknafjord (primary inlet), Tananger Peninsula, low coastal ridges to the south.

When landing at Oslo Gardermoen (OSL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats provide views of Oslo's eastern approach over the Oslofjord and surrounding forested terrain. Descending from the west, you'll see the fjord's narrower reaches, the Nesodden Peninsula, and the city's eastern districts before touchdown on the main runways (typically 01L/01R or 19L/19R depending on wind). Notable sights include: Oslofjord (inner reaches), Nesodden Peninsula, forested hills of Akershus region, Oslo city sprawl.

The flight from Stavanger Sola (SVG) to Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) takes Approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Telemark region's lake-and-forest landscape. Notable features include Bandak Lake (visible as a large dark water body if on the direct route), the Telemark Canal system's upper reaches, and the transition from coastal lowlands to inland forested plateaus. The terrain gradually rises eastward from Stavanger's coastal plain toward the higher elevations around Rjukan and the Hardangervidda plateau (though the direct route typically passes south of this). The Drammen River valley becomes visible in the final descent phase, marking the approach to the Oslo region.
