DUS → PUJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Dominican coastline upon arrival, including the Samaná Peninsula and the vibrant coral reefs of Bavaro, while also offering a shaded cabin away from the southern sun.

Rhine Valley
Aerial perspective of Düsseldorf's city center and the curving Rhine river.
Zeeland Delta
The impressive Dutch coastal defenses and dikes visible if the flight path tracks north.
Land's End
The final glimpse of the European continent at the tip of Cornwall, UK.
Samaná Peninsula
Breathtaking views of the lush green mountains meeting the turquoise sea as you enter Dominican airspace.
Bavaro Beaches
A stunning sequence of resort-lined beaches and turquoise lagoons just before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. As the plane descends into PUJ, it often flies along the northeastern coast, providing a panoramic view of the island's tropical landscape. Being on the north-facing side of the aircraft, you will also benefit from softer lighting and less heat from the sun during the 10-hour journey.

On this westbound route, the left side faces south, meaning you will deal with direct sunlight and glare for most of the day. Use this side if you enjoy tracking the coastline of southern England or seeing the southern resorts of Punta Cana during certain wind-direction landings.
