Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Billund Airport (Billund)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Dutch coastline, the industrial marvels of Rotterdam, the city of Amsterdam, and the unique tidal patterns of the West Frisian Islands and Wadden Sea.
Paris Departures
On takeoff towards the north or west, catch glimpses of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawling urban landscape of the French capital.
Port of Rotterdam
View the massive Maasvlakte extension and the busiest shipping port in Europe along the Dutch coast.
Amsterdam & Schiphol
Look for the distinctive canal rings of Amsterdam and the sprawling runways of Schiphol Airport below.
West Frisian Islands
The islands of Texel, Vlieland, and Terschelling appear as a beautiful chain separating the North Sea from the Wadden Sea.
Wadden Sea Tidal Flats
The intricate patterns of sandbanks and channels in this UNESCO World Heritage site are highly visible during low tide.
Jutland West Coast
The transition from the North Sea to the sandy dunes and pine forests of western Denmark as you begin the descent.
Sit on the left (Port side) for the best coastal scenery. Choose a seat behind the wing to avoid obstruction of the Dutch coastline. Flights departing in the afternoon provide the best lighting as the sun will be behind or above the plane, illuminating the coastline without glare. Watch for the massive offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
Picardy Plains
The rolling agricultural heartland of northern France, dotted with small villages and historical battlefields.
Brussels & Antwerp
On clear days, the dense urban corridors of Belgium, including the distinctive layout of Antwerp's city center, are visible.
IJsselmeer Lake
The vast expanse of the Netherlands' largest lake, separated from the sea by the massive Afsluitdijk dam.
Lower Saxony Coast
Views of the German coastline near the Weser and Elbe estuaries before crossing into Danish airspace.
LEGOLAND Billund
On final approach into BLL, look for the colorful blocks and resort structures of the original Legoland park.
The right side (Starboard) is ideal for spotting inland cities like Brussels and the massive IJsselmeer. During morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare. However, it offers a prime view of the Legoland resort during the final seconds before touchdown if the aircraft is landing from the west.
