DMEDUS

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally preferred for its clear views of the Berlin metropolitan area and better lighting conditions for photography when flying westward, avoiding direct sunlight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Belarusian Wilderness

Vast stretches of pristine forest and complex river systems in the northern Belarusian region.

🏙️

Berlin

An iconic view of the German capital, including the TV Tower and the sprawling city layout.

🌊

Baltic Horizon

On exceptionally clear days, the distant silver shimmer of the Baltic Sea coastline can be spotted.

🏙️

Hannover

A detailed look at the urban layout, rail networks, and green spaces of the Lower Saxony capital.

🌉

Rhine River

Spectacular views of the winding Rhine as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Düsseldorf.

This side is ideal for photography as it faces north, providing soft, indirect light. Watch for Berlin approximately 60 to 70 minutes before arrival. During the descent into DUS, if the aircraft is landing towards the west (Runway 23), the right side offers the most dramatic views of the Rhine river loops and the Düsseldorf city center.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Moscow Outskirts

Aerial views of the sprawling southern Moscow suburbs and residential districts upon departure.

🏰

Warsaw Skyline

A distant view of the Polish capital's high-rise center and the winding Vistula River.

⛰️

Sudetes Range

Snow-capped mountain peaks visible on the horizon along the Czech-Polish border in clear weather.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

The rolling green hills and dense canopy of one of central Germany's most scenic forest regions.

🏭

Ruhr Area

The intense industrial and urban density of Essen and Dortmund as you begin your final descent.

On morning and afternoon flights, the sun will be positioned on this side of the aircraft, which may cause significant glare. This side is excellent for viewing the Sudetes mountains in winter, as the snow makes the peaks highly visible against the landscape. During landing at DUS from the east, you may catch a glimpse of the airport's surrounding cargo hubs.
