Which side of the plane to sit from Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers a more dramatic perspective of the Scandinavian coastline, the architectural marvel of the Øresund Bridge, and a better angle of the Mecklenburg Lake District upon entering German airspace.
Oslofjord Islands
Immediately after takeoff from Rygge, you get a bird's-eye view of the intricate archipelago and narrow inlets of the southern Oslofjord.
Swedish Bohuslän Coast
As the flight heads south, the rocky, rugged coastline of western Sweden is often visible across the water.
Øresund Bridge
A clear day provides a stunning view of the massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen to Malmö.
Copenhagen Panorama
The dense urban layout of the Danish capital and its bustling harbor area are frequently visible during the mid-flight segment.
Mecklenburg Lake District
Upon crossing into Germany, you'll see the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes,' including the expansive Lake Müritz, the largest inland lake in Germany.
Northeast Berlin
On the final approach to Schönefeld, the left side often captures the urban outskirts and industrial areas of Berlin's northern districts.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly spectacular during early morning flights as the sun rises over the Baltic Sea, illuminating the Swedish and Danish coastlines. Keep your camera ready about 20-25 minutes into the flight for the Øresund crossing.
Vestfold Shoreline
Views of the western side of the Oslofjord, featuring coastal towns like Tønsberg and the hilly terrain of Vestfold.
Skagerrak/Kattegat
Expansive views of the busy shipping lanes where the North Sea meets the Baltic, often dotted with large vessels.
Zealand Countryside
The patchwork of green fields and small rural villages across the heart of the Danish island of Zealand.
Fehmarn Island
Looking southwest, you can often spot the German island of Fehmarn and the bridge connecting it to the mainland.
Brandenburg Forests
The final descent offers views of the vast, flat pine forests and sandy soil characteristic of the Brandenburg region surrounding Berlin.
The right side is the 'sunset side' for late afternoon or evening flights, offering warm golden hour light over the Danish landscapes. It is generally quieter visually but provides a great sense of the flat, sprawling geography of Northern Europe. Watch for the Elbe River valley in the distance as you cross into Germany.
