Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, the picturesque Frisian Islands, and the complex engineering of the Dutch coastline and delta.
Wadden Sea
A unique UNESCO World Heritage intertidal zone with striking sandbanks.
Frisian Islands
The iconic chain of islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts.
Amsterdam
Aerial views of the canal rings and the bustling Schiphol Airport hub.
Rotterdam Port
One of the worlds largest and most complex maritime industrial zones.
Delta Works
The massive flood protection systems visible along the Zeeland coastline.
The right side is essential for coastal enthusiasts. The best lighting is during the late afternoon when the sun reflects off the North Sea and the Wadden Seas tidal flats. Try to get a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat blur when photographing the islands.
Jutland Farmlands
A patchwork of Danish agriculture as you depart from Billund.
Groningen
The primary city of the northern Netherlands with its distinct urban layout.
Antwerp Skyline
Views of the Cathedral of Our Lady and the historic center of Antwerp during descent.
Brussels Periphery
The dense suburban landscape of the Flemish Brabant approaching the airport.
On the left, you will see more of the inland industrial heart of the Benelux. Early morning flights often feature a beautiful mist over the low-lying Dutch plains. Check the wind direction; a landing from the east provides a great view of the city of Leuven.
