BREFMO

Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster)?

Our Recommendation
6.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers superior views of the Dümmer See and the northern ridges of the Teutoburg Forest region, providing more geographical variety than the flat plains to the west.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Bremen City Center

Clear views of the Weser River and the historic city center shortly after takeoff from BRE.

🌊

Dümmer See

A large, shallow lake within a nature park, easily recognizable by its circular shape and surrounding wetlands.

⛰️

Wiehen Hills

The northernmost range of the German Central Uplands, marking a transition from the flat plains to rolling terrain.

🏰

Osnabrück Suburbs

As the flight nears FMO, the eastern outskirts of Osnabrück and its industrial zones become visible.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly scenic during autumn when the foliage of the Teutoburg Forest begins to change. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight for the Dümmer See.

Right Side Highlights
5.8
🌲

Wildeshauser Geest

A vast nature park featuring a mix of heathland, forests, and prehistoric megalithic tombs visible from above.

🚜

Lower Saxony Farmland

The intricate mosaic of the Artland region's agricultural fields, showcasing traditional northern German land use.

🚢

Dortmund-Ems Canal

Watch for the long, straight silver ribbon of the canal that runs parallel to the flight path near the end of the journey.

🛬

FMO Runway Approach

Excellent views of the Ladbergen municipality and the airport's surrounding logistics hubs during final descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Emsland horizon. Because the flight is very short and at a low altitude, use binoculars if possible to spot the historic farmsteads of the Artland region.
