During a standard westerly departure, passengers on the left side can see the Brussels city skyline, the iconic Atomium, and the dense urban center as the aircraft climbs away from Zaventem.
The left side provides the most iconic views of historic Flemish cities and a classic perspective of the English coastline, including the White Cliffs of Dover, during the short crossing.
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the rolling Ardennes forest and a more direct look at the Vosges mountain peaks during the descent into Strasbourg.
