DUS → BLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Billund Airport (Billund)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the North Sea coastline, the intricate patterns of the Wadden Sea, and the unique chain of Frisian Islands.
Ruhr Metropolis
Aerial views of the western industrial heartland including Duisburg and the Rhine river bends.
Wadden Sea
The UNESCO World Heritage site featuring vast tidal flats and shifting sandbanks.
East Frisian Islands
A clear view of the islands like Juist and Norderney stretching along the German coast.
Emden Port
One of the largest car shipping ports in Europe located at the mouth of the Ems.
Jutland West Coast
The rugged and windy coastline of western Denmark as you cross the border.
For the best photography of the Wadden Sea, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Check tide tables; the view is most dramatic at low tide when the sand patterns are fully exposed. In winter, the islands may appear dusted with frost or snow, creating a stark contrast with the dark sea.
Teutoburg Forest
A prominent forested ridge of hills rising from the flat North German Plain.
City of Bremen
The historic Hanseatic city and its winding Weser river are often visible to the east.
Kiel Canal Entrance
The western start of the world's busiest artificial waterway connecting to the Baltic.
LEGOLAND Billund
The iconic theme park's bright colors are easily spotted during the final descent into BLL.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of flight; if landing on Runway 09, you will get a direct bird's-eye view of the original LEGOLAND park and the LEGO House architecture.
