MANRYG

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

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a superior perspective of the Pennine hills during departure and a breathtaking view of the rugged Norwegian archipelago and western Oslofjord during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

The Pennines

Dramatic views of the English backbone and Peak District national park shortly after takeoff from Manchester.

🌊

Spurn Point

The unique, narrow sand spit at the edge of the Humber Estuary as the flight leaves the UK coastline.

⚓

Southern Norwegian Coast

The first sightings of Norway's iconic rocky shoreline near Kristiansand and Arendal.

🏝️

Oslofjord Islands

A bird's-eye view of the countless small islands and coastal cabins scattered across the western Oslofjord.

Sit in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Norwegian coastline. On clear days, the descent over the Skagerrak offers spectacular glints of light off the water. If flying in winter, the low sun provides long, dramatic shadows over the fjords.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🚜

Lincolnshire Wolds

Glimpses of the rolling agricultural heartland of eastern England before heading over the sea.

🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Vast offshore wind arrays visible as geometric patterns in the North Sea during mid-flight.

🏖️

Østfold Shoreline

The flatter, beach-lined coast of the Østfold region as the aircraft turns toward Rygge.

🌲

Norwegian Boreal Forests

Dense, dark evergreen forests stretching toward the Swedish border during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep an eye out for large shipping vessels in the North Sea shipping lanes, which are highly visible from this altitude.
