DUS → NCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Dutch Wadden Islands and a more dramatic coastline approach into the North East of England.
Wadden Islands
The beautiful chain of Frisian islands and tidal flats along the northern Dutch coast.
North Sea Wind Farms
Impressive geometric patterns of offshore wind turbines visible during the North Sea crossing.
Durham Heritage Coast
A stunning stretch of cliffs and beaches visible just before the final turn into Newcastle.
Tyne Bridges
The iconic cluster of bridges connecting Newcastle and Gateshead visible on final approach.
St James' Park
The massive, gleaming roof of the Newcastle United football stadium in the city center.
The right side is best for the final approach into NCL. Depending on wind direction, you may fly north of the city, providing a panoramic view of the Tyne and the city center. Night flights offer great views of the illuminated industrial lights of Teesside.
Ruhr Valley
The sprawling industrial and urban landscape of Western Germany immediately after takeoff.
Port of Rotterdam
The massive scale of one of the world's largest shipping ports and its industrial Maasvlakte.
Delta Works
The intricate engineering of the Dutch flood protection systems along the Zeeland coast.
Spurn Point
A distinctive, narrow sand spit curling into the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
North York Moors
Expansive views of the dark, rugged heather moorland of North Yorkshire during the descent.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the unique geography of the Humber Estuary as you enter UK airspace.
