DUS → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
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.
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.
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.
