DUS → XRY
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Jerez Airport (Jerez)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior lighting conditions for photography on this southbound route, avoiding direct solar glare. It provides the best perspective of the high Pyrenees peaks and the rugged Sierra de Guadarrama mountains north of Madrid.

The Rhine River
Immediately after takeoff from DUS, catch views of the winding Rhine as it flows through the industrial heart of the Rhineland.
Ardennes Forest
Aerial views of the dense, rolling green hills of the Belgian and French Ardennes region.
Central Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees as the aircraft crosses the border from France into Spain.
Madrid Outskirts
Distant views of the Spanish capital and the dramatic granite peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
Andalusian Plains
As the flight descends, see the golden sunflower fields and vast olive groves characteristic of southern Spain.
For the best experience, sit well ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Pyrenees. This side is particularly rewarding on midday flights as the sun is positioned to the south and west, providing excellent shadow definition on the mountain ranges without looking directly into the sun.

Excellent views of the Rheinturm and the modern architectural landmarks of the Media Harbour during initial climb.
Loire Valley
Cross over the 'Garden of France,' potentially spotting the historic chateaus and the wide, sandy banks of the Loire river.
Bay of Biscay Coast
On clear days, the silver line of the Atlantic coast near Biarritz is visible to the west during the mountain transit.
Sherry Vineyards
During the final approach into XRY, the right side often offers views of the chalky white 'Albariza' soil vineyards unique to the Jerez region.
The right side can be quite sunny on this route, so polarized sunglasses are recommended. However, it is the best side for viewing the distinctive white-soil vineyards and traditional 'cortijos' (farmhouses) of the Sherry Triangle during the final approach into Jerez.
