Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the Swedish coastline, the shimmering Great Lakes of Sweden, and a picturesque approach over the eastern side of the Oslofjord.
Modlin Fortress
A striking view of the historic 19th-century fortification at the confluence of the Narew and Vistula rivers.
Karlskrona Archipelago
A stunning UNESCO-listed cluster of islands along the southern Swedish coast as the flight crosses land.
Swedish Lake District
Passing near Lake Vättern or Vänern, offering deep blue water and lush green landscapes of southern Sweden.
Fredrikstad
The well-preserved star-shaped Old Town is clearly visible during the final 5 minutes of the approach.
Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid sun glare and enjoy the Swedish coast. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Swedish shoreline into the Oslofjord; the transition from sea to rugged islands is the highlight of the trip. The right side typically offers the best view of the airfield surroundings before touchdown.
Kampinos Forest
Vast expanse of Polish pine forests and marshlands immediately visible after takeoff from Modlin.
Baltic Horizon
Wide views of the busy shipping lanes and offshore wind farms in the central Baltic Sea.
Skagerrak Entry
On clear days, the distant horizon marks the meeting point of the Baltic and North Seas.
Tønsberg
Views of Norway's oldest town across the Oslofjord during the final descent into Rygge.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. It provides a better perspective of the open water and the western inlets of the Oslofjord. Seasonal snow in winter makes the Norwegian coastline particularly dramatic on this side during descent.
