DJEDUS

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic peaks of the Swiss Alps, including the Bernese Oberland, and a better angle of the Rhine River during the final approach into Düsseldorf.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🚢

Gulf of Gabes

Aerial perspective of the Tunisian continental shelf and busy Mediterranean shipping lanes.

🇮🇹

Tyrrhenian Sea

Views of the Italian coastline and the eastern shores of the Mediterranean islands.

🏔️

Bernese Alps

Breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Switzerland.

💧

Lake Zurich

A clear view of the elongated blue lake and the surrounding Swiss urban landscape.

🏙️

Ruhr Valley

The dense urban and industrial landscape of Germany's heartland during the descent into DUS.

This is the prime side for mountain lovers. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the snow-capped Alpine glaciers. Keep your camera ready about 60-80 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏝️

Djerba Coastline

Crystal clear turquoise lagoons and the white architecture of Djerba island immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Western Mediterranean

Expansive views of the open sea and the rugged western coastlines of Sardinia and Corsica.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

Distant but majestic views of the highest peak in the Alps visible on the western horizon.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

The rolling green ridges of eastern France and the border region near the Rhine.

🏰

Lower Rhine

Scenic views of the river winding through the industrial and green landscapes of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Sit on this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour light, though be prepared for some direct sun glare. It provides an excellent perspective of the sunset over the French horizon during late-day departures.
