Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a direct view of the majestic Rhine River corridor, the Eifel volcanic landscapes, and a stunning perspective of the Cologne Cathedral shortly after takeoff from Düsseldorf.
Cologne Cathedral
The massive twin spires of the Kölner Dom are often clearly visible shortly after departing DUS.
Eifel National Park
Rugged volcanic terrain and dense woodlands stretching toward the Belgian border.
Rhine River Bends
Follow the silver thread of the Rhine as it carves through the dramatic Middle Rhine Valley.
Moselle Valley View
Distant views of the steep vineyard-covered slopes where the Moselle meets the Rhine.
Black Forest Fringe
The dark, dense canopy of the northern Black Forest appears on the horizon as you approach Stuttgart.
This is the premier side for geography lovers. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the Rhine Valley. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the best shots of the Cologne skyline and the river loops.
Cologne Cityscape
Aerial view of the southern Ruhr metropolitan area and the expansive urban sprawl of Cologne.
Westerwald Forest
Lush green rolling hills and deep valleys of the Rhineland-Palatinate region.
Frankfurt Skyline
On clear days, the high-rise towers of Germany's financial hub are visible in the far distance.
Odenwald Mountains
Beautiful forested low mountain range located between the Main and Neckar rivers.
Neckar Valley
Scenic views of the winding Neckar river and its historic riverside castles during the descent.
Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the distinct urban grid of Mannheim and the Odenwald hills during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
