BLL → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred as it offers stunning views of the North Sea coastline, the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea, and the Frisian Islands, followed by a scenic descent over the Rhine River.
Wadden Sea
The intricate patterns of tidal flats and sandbars within this protected UNESCO World Heritage site.
East Frisian Islands
A chain of sandy islands including Wangerooge and Spiekeroog visible along the German coast.
Ems River Estuary
The major shipping artery where the Ems meets the North Sea, featuring large cargo vessels.
Lower Saxony Plains
A patchwork of green agriculture, wind farms, and small villages typical of North Germany.
Rhine River Bend
A spectacular view of the winding Rhine River and the Düsseldorf skyline during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the North Sea and the Rhine. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline near the German-Danish border for the best maritime colors. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Rhine loops during the descent.
Jutland Peninsula
Expansive views of the Danish countryside and the rolling hills of central Jutland shortly after takeoff.
City of Bremen
A clear view of the Weser River and the historic urban center of Bremen as the flight heads south.
Ruhr Valley
The sprawling industrial landscape and high-density urban areas of Germany's most populous region.
Dortmund Stadium
Possible sightings of the Signal Iduna Park if the flight path takes a slightly eastern approach vector.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers better views of Germany's inland urban infrastructure and the dense network of the Ruhr region. Focus on the ground 20 minutes before landing for the best cityscapes.
