DUSBLL

Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Billund Airport (Billund)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌳

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.
