DUS → CLY
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (Calvi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more intimate look at the central Swiss Alps and provides the most dramatic entry to Corsica, featuring the rugged Cap Corse peninsula and the island's highest peaks during the descent.
Middle Rhine Valley
Shortly after takeoff from DUS, view the winding Rhine river punctuated by historic castles and vineyards.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests of southwest Germany appearing as a dark green velvet carpet below.
Glarus Alps
Stunning views of the snow-capped central Swiss peaks as the flight reaches cruising altitude.
Genoa Port
The massive industrial and historic harbor of Genoa where the mountains meet the Ligurian Sea.
Cap Corse
The 'finger' of Corsica, showcasing steep cliffs and tiny coastal villages as you begin your final approach.
Monte Cinto Massif
The highest mountains in Corsica visible to the south during the landing pattern into Calvi.
Book a window seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine peaks. On morning flights, the left side remains shaded, providing better lighting for photography without cabin glare. Watch closely about 15 minutes before landing for the dramatic transition from the blue Mediterranean to the jagged Corsican coastline.
Moselle Valley
Early flight views of the looping Moselle river and the steep terraced vineyards of the Eifel region.
Bernese Oberland
Distant but clear views of the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in Switzerland.
Mont Blanc
Europe's highest peak often visible on the horizon to the southwest during the Alpine crossing.
French Riviera
The sparkling coastline of Nice and Monaco visible in the distance across the Ligurian Sea.
Ligurian Blue
Expansive views of the deep azure Mediterranean Sea, often dotted with yachts and ferries heading to Bastia.
Calvi Citadel
The historic 13th-century Genoese citadel becomes visible as the plane banks for its final approach into CLY.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. During the final approach into Calvi, keep your camera ready for the Citadel; depending on the wind direction, the plane often performs a scenic turn over the bay that puts the town center right in your window.
