Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally more scenic, offering a view of the Oresund Bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark, the major German ports of Hamburg and Bremen, and the industrial beauty of the Rhine-Ruhr area.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
💧

Lake Vättern

Sweden's second-largest lake, known for its deep blue waters and scenic shoreline as you fly south.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The iconic engineering marvel linking Malmö and Copenhagen across the Oresund strait about 45 minutes in.

🚢

Hamburg Port

One of the world's largest container ports and the winding Elbe river passing through the city center.

🌊

Rhine River

Aerial views of the Rhine as it flows through the industrial heartland and cities like Cologne and Düsseldorf.

🌲

Eifel National Park

Ancient volcanic landscapes and dense deciduous forests shortly before crossing into Luxembourg.

🏰

Luxembourg City

A glimpse of the deep Alzette valley and the historic fortifications of the capital during landing.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while looking west. About 45 minutes into the flight, watch for the Oresund Bridge. If the flight path tracks over Cologne, the towering Cathedral is often visible right next to the Rhine river.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏝️

Stockholm Archipelago

Thousands of tiny islands dotting the Baltic coast immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.

🌊

Southern Baltic Coast

Aerial views of the Swedish coastline and the island of Bornholm to the south-east.

⛰️

Harz National Park

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the Brocken peak.

🏢

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the distant cluster of skyscrapers in Germany's financial hub is visible to the west.

🍷

Moselle Valley

Stunning steep-slope vineyards and winding river bends during the final descent into Luxembourg.

Opt for the left side on early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, keep your eyes peeled for the winding Moselle river and its world-famous vineyards, particularly if the wind dictates a northern approach into LUX.
