STN โ RYG
Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the English East Anglian coastline upon departure and a stunning view of the Hvaler archipelago and Fredrikstad during the final descent into Rygge.
Suffolk Coastline
Clear views of Lowestoft and the sandy beaches of East Anglia shortly after the climb out of Essex.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive arrays of offshore turbines, including the East Anglia ONE project, visible in the North Sea.
Hvaler Archipelago
A stunning collection of over 800 islands and skerries at the mouth of the Oslofjord during the descent.
Old Town Fredrikstad
The unique star-shaped fortifications of Gamlebyen are often visible just before landing.
Moss Harbor
Close-up views of the industrial and residential waterfront of Moss just before touchdown at Rygge.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for the English coast. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Norwegian coastline; the contrast between the granite rocks and the blue water of the Hvaler islands is spectacular in clear weather.
Essex Countryside
Rolling hills and patchwork fields of rural England immediately after takeoff from Stansted.
The Skagerrak
The deep blue strait between Denmark and Norway, frequently dotted with international cargo ships.
Tรธnsberg
Views across the water of Norway's oldest town as the aircraft enters the Oslofjord region.
Vestfold Coastline
The jagged western coastline of the fjord featuring numerous bays and small inlets.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun while watching the Norwegian coast emerge. In winter, look for the distant, snow-covered mountains of Telemark to the west.
