Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge)?

Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic entry into the Oslofjord and the transition from the Mediterranean coast to the Atlantic-influenced French landscapes.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Costa del Sol Departure

Aerial views of the Málaga city center and the sparkling Alboran Sea immediately after takeoff.

🏰

Castilian Meseta

The arid, golden plains of central Spain, dotted with historic windmills and medieval castle ruins.

🏖️

Bay of Biscay

As the plane crosses into France, you'll see the rugged coastline of the Aquitaine region and the Gironde estuary.

🏝️

Wadden Sea & Frisian Islands

Unique perspectives of the tidal flats and the chain of islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts.

🛶

Oslofjord Panorama

Stunning views of the western shore of the fjord, featuring rocky inlets and forested hills during the descent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Norwegian sunset if flying in the evening. During the winter months, this side is ideal for spotting the transition from the green landscapes of Spain to the snow-covered forests of Scandinavia. Avoid seats 12-20 to ensure your view isn't blocked by the wing.

Jutland Peninsula

Views over the agricultural heartland of Denmark and the Limfjord before crossing the Skagerrak.

🇸🇪

Swedish Bohuslän Coast

The final approach provides a look at the thousands of tiny granite islands along the western coast of Sweden.

The right side is perfect for catching the sunrise on early morning departures. Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing. On the descent into Rygge, look for the industrial landscape of the Østfold region and the bridge connections between the coastal towns.
