Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the iconic Moselle River loops and the historic city of Trier, which are the visual highlights of this short hop south.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Düsseldorf Skyline

Aerial view of the Rhine Tower and the Media Harbour immediately after takeoff.

⛪

Cologne Cathedral

On clear days, the distant twin spires of the Kölner Dom are visible as you head south.

🍇

Moselle Valley

Dramatic views of the winding river and steep-sloped vineyards of the Mosel wine region.

🏛️

Trier Landmarks

The oldest city in Germany, featuring Roman ruins like the Porta Nigra visible near the border.

Book an 'A' window seat. Since the flight is under 40 minutes, the plane stays relatively low, offering excellent ground detail. Morning flights provide atmospheric mist in the Moselle valley, which is a photographer's dream.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Eifel National Park

Vast stretches of dense forest and the volcanic landscapes of the North Eifel region.

🚜

Open-Cast Mines

Distant views of the massive Garzweiler or Hambach mines to the west near the start of the flight.

🏰

Luxembourg Plateau

The transition from the German hills into the elevated plateau of the Grand Duchy during descent.

Choose an 'F' window seat. Watch for the change in terrain from the flat Rhine valley to the rugged Eifel hills. Late afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun sets over the Belgian border to the west.
