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

While both sides offer coastal views, the right side provides the most iconic landmarks upon arrival into Scotland, including the Fife coastline and the world-famous Forth Bridges.
Search flights from RYG to EDI
Southern Norway Coastline
The rugged, rocky shoreline of the Agder region visible during the initial cruise phase.
North Sea Oil Fields
On clear days, look down for the industrial silhouettes of offshore oil and gas platforms.
St Andrews
The historic town and the famous 'Old Course' are often visible on the Fife peninsula.
The Forth Bridges
Unrivaled views of the iconic red Rail Bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing during the descent.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Request a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Forth Bridges. In winter, the afternoon sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Fife coast and the bridges.
Book Hotels in Edinburgh
Oslofjord Archipelago
Dramatic views of the islands and inlets south of Rygge immediately after takeoff.
Skagerrak Strait
The busy shipping lanes where the North Sea meets the Baltic waters.
East Lothian Coast
Golden beaches and the high concentration of world-class golf courses along the southern shore.
Bass Rock
A massive volcanic island in the Firth of Forth, recognizable by its white color from gannet colonies.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. This side is ideal for spotting the Lammermuir Hills and the approach over the Scottish Borders if the wind requires a southern arrival path. Keep an eye out for Arthur's Seat as you make your final descent.
