DUS → VRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport (Varadero)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a diverse array of scenery, ranging from the rugged highlands of Scotland and potential icebergs off Greenland to the bustling skyline of the US East Coast and the tropical reefs of Florida.
Scottish Highlands
Dramatic views of the Cairngorms and the rugged western isles as the flight leaves Europe.
Southern Greenland
Depending on the jet stream, you may see the massive ice sheets and floating icebergs of the Cape Farewell region.
Newfoundland
The wild, rocky shores and deep fjords of eastern Canada provide a stark contrast to the open ocean.
US East Coast
Vibrant views of the Atlantic seaboard, often passing near the lights of Boston, New York, or the Outer Banks.
Florida Keys
The spectacular Seven Mile Bridge and the chain of islands stretching toward the Gulf of Mexico.
The Right Side is preferred for better lighting (away from the sun) and superior landmass visibility. If the flight follows a Great Circle route, look out early for Greenland’s glaciers. Use the in-flight map to time your viewing for the US East Coast, which often appears as a distant glow or detailed coastline depending on cloud cover.
Dutch Coastline
Bird's eye view of the intricate network of canals and dikes along the Netherlands coast shortly after takeoff.
Greater London
On more southerly routes, catch a glimpse of the sprawling metropolis and the winding River Thames.
Great Bahama Bank
Stunning transition from deep indigo ocean to shallow, electric-blue waters as you approach the Caribbean.
Varadero Peninsula
A close-up view of the white sand beaches and hotel strips of the Hicacos Peninsula during the final descent.
On this westbound flight, the sun will generally be on the left side (South) for the duration of the trip. This can cause significant glare and heat; keep your window shade partially closed mid-flight. Focus your viewing on the first hour and the final 45 minutes for the most interesting coastal transitions.
