DUS → GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including a high probability of seeing the Port of Hamburg, the Danish islands, and the metropolitan areas of Copenhagen and Malmö across the Øresund strait.
Teutoburg Forest
The prominent ridge of forested hills in Northwest Germany provides a distinct geographic contrast to the surrounding plains.
Port of Hamburg
A spectacular view of Germany's 'Gateway to the World' with its massive container terminals and the Elbe River.
Øresund Bridge
Depending on the specific airway used, you can often spot the massive bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden.
Copenhagen & Malmö
Clear views of the Danish capital and the Swedish city of Malmö separated by the blue waters of the Øresund.
Västra Götaland Lakes
As you enter Swedish airspace, look for the deep blue lakes and dense forests typical of the southern Swedish interior.
Sit on the right for the best urban landmarks. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes into the flight for the Port of Hamburg. On clear days, the engineering of the Øresund Bridge is a must-see landmark before the final turn toward Landvetter.
Ruhr Industrial Valley
Immediately after takeoff, view the dense industrial landscape and urban sprawl of the Rhine-Ruhr region.
The Wadden Sea
Vast tidal flats and the North Sea coastline of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein are visible to the west.
Jutland Peninsula
The green, flat agricultural landscapes of Western Denmark stretching towards the North Sea horizon.
Gothenburg Archipelago
During the descent into GOT, see the thousands of small granite islands and coastal villages that define the Swedish West Coast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a view of the rugged Swedish coastline and the North Sea.
