RYG β WMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge) to Modlin Airport (Warsaw)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the intricate Swedish coastline and a spectacular aerial approach over the Gdansk Bay area before descending into the Polish plains.
Oslofjord Archipelagos
Immediate views of the rocky islets and coastal inlets surrounding Moss and Rygge.
BohuslΓ€n Coastline
The rugged, granite-shored west coast of Sweden is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Baltic Shipping Lanes
Active maritime traffic in the Baltic Sea, often featuring large ferries and cargo ships.
Tri-City Area
Distant views of the Gdynia, Sopot, and Gdansk metropolitan areas as you cross the Polish coast.
Mazovian Lowlands
A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields characteristic of central Poland during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best coastal views. If the flight path dips slightly east, you may catch the Swedish islands in high detail.
Skagerrak Straight
The vast expanse where the North Sea meets the Baltic, offering deep blue oceanic vistas.
Jutland Peninsula
The northern tip of Denmark (Skagen) is occasionally visible on the horizon depending on visibility.
Baltic Sunset
Phenomenal golden hour views over the open water for late-afternoon or evening departures.
Szczecin Lagoon
The large estuarine lagoon at the mouth of the Oder River on the German-Polish border.
Vistula River Valley
The winding path of the Vistula River as it snakes toward Warsaw through the Polish countryside.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sun setting over the Baltic Sea. During the final approach into Modlin, watch for the confluence of the Narew and Vistula rivers, which is quite prominent on this side.
