CRL β RYG
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular vantage point for the Dutch coastline, the Frisian Islands, and the dramatic approach into the Oslofjord along the Norwegian coast.
Zeeland Delta Works
Shortly after takeoff, view the massive dams and storm surge barriers protecting the Dutch coast.
West Frisian Islands
The distinct chain of islands including Texel and Vlieland visible against the shallow Wadden Sea.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind arrays appearing as geometric patterns in the deep blue waters.
Jutland West Coast
The long, sandy stretches of the Danish peninsula and the unique Limfjord inlet.
The Skagerrak
Crossing the turbulent strait connecting the North Sea and the Baltic Sea before reaching Norway.
Vestfold Coastline
The rugged, rocky shoreline of southern Norway as the plane prepares for its descent into Rygge.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly impressive during high tide when the contrast between the Wadden Sea and the islands is most visible. Watch for the sharp transition from the flat Danish plains to the deep blue of the Skagerrak.
Benelux Urban Sprawl
The dense network of cities including Antwerp and the eastern suburbs of Rotterdam.
Elbe River Estuary
Visible near the German border, showing the massive shipping lanes heading toward Hamburg.
Great Belt Bridge
On clear days, the massive suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand can be spotted.
Swedish West Coast
The beautiful granite archipelagos of BohuslΓ€n appearing as thousands of tiny islands.
Oslofjord Traffic
Large cruise ships and ferries navigating the narrow waters toward the Norwegian capital.
Scandinavian Forests
Dense evergreen landscapes that characterize the final approach into the Moss region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' light hitting the Swedish coast. Keep an eye out for the Swedish archipelago just before the turn toward Rygge; the granite islands look particularly striking in low light. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Norwegian forest landscape look magical.
