Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the English Channel crossing, the historic Champagne region of France, and a more dramatic descent over the northern edges of the Black Forest before landing in Stuttgart.
White Cliffs of Dover
The iconic chalk cliffs and the busy maritime traffic of the English Channel visible about 20 minutes after departure.
Champagne Region
The distinctive geometric patterns of the world-famous French vineyards near Reims and Epernay.
The Rhine River
A major European artery visible as you cross from French into German airspace near Karlsruhe.
Stuttgart TV Tower
The world's first telecommunications tower of its kind, often visible on the final approach to Runway 25.
Best for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you or to the southwest. On final approach to Runway 25, the right side provides panoramic views of downtown Stuttgart and the Fernsehturm. During winter, look for snow-capped peaks of the distant Jura mountains to the south.
The Fens
Vast, flat agricultural landscapes of Eastern England visible shortly after takeoff if the route tracks slightly north.
Ardennes Forest
The rolling green hills and dense forests of Southern Belgium and Luxembourg stretching toward the horizon.
Neckar Valley
The winding river and terraced vineyards leading into the Stuttgart region during the final descent.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Look for the historic city of Luxembourg and the Moselle's loops during the mid-flight cruise phase. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Ludwigsburg Palace just north of the airport.
