RYG โ MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Oslofjord during takeoff and the rugged Pennine landscapes on the approach to Manchester.
Oslofjord Islands
Spectacular views of the forested islands and rocky inlets immediately after departing Rygge.
Sรธrlandet Coast
The picturesque 'Norwegian Riviera' with its white-painted coastal towns like Kristiansand.
Yorkshire Coastline
Rugged cliffs and heritage coast near Whitby and Scarborough as you cross into UK airspace.
The Peak District
Dramatic moorland and limestone valleys of the Dark Peak area during the descent into Manchester.
The right side is essential for the best departure views of Norway's coast. For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the views of the Pennines. In winter, keep an eye out for snow-covered peaks in the Peak District just before landing.
Skagerrak Strait
The busy maritime passage connecting the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
Dogger Bank
A shallow area of the North Sea known for its extensive offshore wind farms and shipping activity.
Humber Estuary
The wide industrial waterway leading into northern England, featuring the massive Humber Bridge.
South Yorkshire Urban Centers
Bird's-eye views of Sheffield and the surrounding South Yorkshire industrial landscape.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights and to spot the massive offshore wind arrays. During the final approach, this side often provides a clearer view of the Cheshire plains if the flight loops south of the airport.
