Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior mix of natural terrain like the Ardennes forest and the dense urban/industrial tapestry of the German Ruhr region, concluding with excellent views of the Weser river during the approach.
Ardennes Forest
The rolling hills and dense woodlands stretching across the Belgian and Luxembourgish borders.
Rhine-Ruhr Megalopolis
A dense network of cities including Essen and Dortmund, representing Germany's industrial heartland.
Münsterland
Scenic views of the park-like landscapes and historic architecture surrounding the city of Münster.
Weser River Meanders
The major waterway that guides the aircraft directly into the Bremen airport approach corridor.
Bremen City Center
A view of the historic Hanseatic city, including the Altstadt, especially when landing from the west.
The Right Side is ideal for evening flights as the sunset reflects beautifully off the Weser river. Pay close attention during the last 10 minutes of the flight; the proximity to the city center makes for excellent photography of the river docks.
Picardy Plains
Expansive agricultural landscapes of northern France featuring geometric crop patterns.
Flemish Lowlands
Flat, historic territories of northern Belgium dotted with small villages and canals.
Wadden Sea Distant View
Glimpses of the UNESCO-listed tidal flats to the north as you cross into German airspace.
Oldenburg Industrial Parks
Modern logistics hubs and industrial zones on the western outskirts of the Bremen region.
Sit on the left during early morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side offers better views of the North Sea coastline if the flight is vectored further north than usual due to air traffic control.
