ALC β RYG
Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Pyrenees, the unique volcanic landscapes of central France, and the scenic descent into the Oslofjord over the Danish archipelago.
Costa Blanca Coast
Aerial views of Valencia and the Mediterranean shoreline shortly after departure from Alicante.
Central Pyrenees
Stunning views of the highest peaks on the border between Spain and France, often snow-capped.
Massif Central
The ancient, dormant volcanic domes of central France providing a unique geological landscape.
German Heartland
Dense forests and the winding Rhine or Elbe rivers as the flight crosses into Northern Europe.
Danish Straits
The complex network of islands and bridges connecting Jutland, Funen, and Zealand in Denmark.
Oslofjord Entrance
A breathtaking panoramic view of the islands and inlets of the inner Oslofjord during the descent.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers, offering the best angle of the Pyrenees peaks. During the morning, this side will be quite bright; if flying in winter, watch for the long shadows over the French Massif Central. The approach into Rygge from the south provides a classic Norwegian fjord view on this side. Check the wind directionβif landing from the north, you'll see the town of Moss clearly.
Spanish Meseta
Vast, sun-drenched plains of central Spain transitioning into the northern mountain ranges.
Paris Distant Skyline
On clear days, the silhouette of the French capital and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the west.
Rotterdam Port
The massive industrial complex and shipping lanes of Europe's largest seaport along the Dutch coast.
North Sea Coastline
The sandy beaches of the Netherlands and the West Frisian Islands stretching toward Germany.
West Oslofjord
The rocky, forested coastline of Vestfold as the plane makes its final approach into Rygge.
Sit on the left for better views of the Atlantic-facing coastline of the Benelux countries. This side is preferred for sunset flights heading north, as you will catch the golden hour over the North Sea. Use a flight tracker to see if the path passes directly over Paris for a chance to spot the city lights at night.
