Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Menorca Airport (Menorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view during the descent into Menorca, often providing a panoramic view of the Port of Mahon, one of the world's largest natural harbors, along with distant views of the Alps during the cruise phase.
Cologne Cathedral
Shortly after takeoff from DUS, look for the iconic twin spires and the curve of the Rhine River.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far horizon over eastern France.
Marseille Coastline
View the rugged coastline of Provence and the massive port infrastructure around the Gulf of Fos.
Mediterranean Crossing
A long stretch of deep azure waters as the flight transitions from mainland Europe to the Balearic Islands.
Mahon Harbor
During the final approach, the aircraft often banks to reveal the stunning 5km long natural inlet of Menorca's capital.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft. The highlight is the landing; keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before touchdown as the plane aligns with runway 19 for the best view of the historic fortresses guarding the harbor entrance.
Eifel National Park
Green forested volcanic hills visible early in the flight near the German-Belgian border.
Massif Central
The unique landscape of the Chaîne des Puys, featuring dormant volcanic craters in central France.
The Camargue
The vast wetlands and salt pans of the Rhone delta, known for its pink hues and diverse birdlife.
Menorca North Coast
The rugged, reddish cliffs and hidden 'calas' (coves) of the island's northern shoreline during descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. Look for the Pyrenees mountains in the far distance to the west as you cross the French coastline. It also provides a great perspective of the island's rural 'field-and-stone-wall' landscape just before landing.
