Which side of the plane to sit from Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen) to Esbjerg Airport (Esbjerg)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is generally superior as it provides a view of Aberdeen's harbor and skyline on departure, followed by the iconic Horns Rev wind farms and the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea islands during the arrival into Esbjerg.
