The left side wins overall because it captures the flight's most dramatic terrain: the Lyngen Alps at departure and the continuation of Norway's interior mountain spine—Saltfjellet and the Dovrefjell plateau—during cruise, giving it more sustained scenic drama than the right side's calmer coastal-to-lowland transition.

Takeoff from TOS

LEFT

Climbing south out of Tromsø, the left side faces Tromsdalstinden's jagged peak right next to the airport, with the serrated, glacier-streaked Lyngen Alps rising further east. The right side shows Tromsø's harbor and outer islands, which is pleasant but less dramatic than the alpine wall to the east.

Landing at OSL

RIGHT

On approach into Gardermoen from the north, the right side reveals the forested lake district west of the airport, including glimpses of Hurdalssjøen and the rolling patchwork of farmland toward Norway's largest lake, Mjøsa. The left side over Romerike shows mostly flat farmland and forest without a comparable lake feature.
