Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Salzburg Airport (Salzburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, transitioning from the urban Rhine-Ruhr area to a spectacular reveal of the Bavarian Alps and the iconic Untersberg mountain during the final descent into Salzburg.

Frankfurt Skyline
Distances views of Germany's only major skyscraper cluster when passing over the Hesse region.
Munich & Allianz Arena
The sprawling Bavarian capital and the glowing white 'doughnut' stadium to the south.
Lake Chiemsee
A magnificent view of Bavaria's largest lake, including the Herreninsel and Fraueninsel islands.
The Alps Panorama
The jagged horizon of the Northern Limestone Alps coming into full view during descent.
Untersberg Massif
The massive, sheer rock face of the Untersberg dominates the window during the final seconds of flight.
This is the side for mountain lovers. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps. The approach into Salzburg is world-famous; keep your camera ready as the plane descends alongside the steep cliffs of the Untersberg, which feels close enough to touch.

Ruhr Metropolis
Dense urban landscape and industrial landmarks of the Ruhr area shortly after takeoff.
Sauerland Hills
Rolling forested peaks of the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' stretching eastward.
Nuremberg
Aerial view of the historic Bavarian city and its medieval fortifications if on a northernly track.
Main River Meanders
Intricate loops of the Main River as the flight crosses central Germany.
Maria Plain Basilica

Sit on the left if you want to see the city lights of the Ruhr area after a night takeoff. During landing on Runway 15, you may get a brief but beautiful view of the Salzburg city center and the Hohensalzburg Fortress if the plane performs a circling approach.
