Which side of the plane to sit from Esbjerg Airport (Esbjerg) to Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most comprehensive view of Aberdeen's city layout and harbor upon arrival, alongside views of the southern Wadden Sea and major offshore wind farms during departure.
Wadden Sea Mudflats
Visible immediately after takeoff, showcasing the intricate tidal channels and sandbanks of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Horns Rev Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind turbine arrays off the Danish coast, appearing as geometric patterns on the sea surface.
North Sea Energy Platforms
Strategic views of oil and gas rigs in the Central North Sea sectors depending on the specific flight corridor.
The Granite City
A prime view of Aberdeen’s city center, Union Street, and the historic harbor as the aircraft lines up for landing.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the Scottish horizon. On the approach into Aberdeen, this side usually provides the best perspective of the city's iconic grey-stone architecture. Keep an eye out for support vessels and tankers clustered near the harbor entrance.
Fanø Island
A bird's-eye view of the northernmost Danish Wadden Sea island, known for its wide sandy beaches and historic villages.
Blåvandshuk Lighthouse
Look for the westernmost point of Denmark and its famous white lighthouse during the climb-out.
Balmedie Beach
Stunning views of the extensive dune systems and golden sands stretching north from Aberdeen along the coastline.
Trump International Golf Links
The dramatic and controversial coastal golf course layout is clearly visible during the final descent into Dyce.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers better views of the rugged coastline north of Aberdeen, which is particularly scenic if the flight makes a northern approach loop. It's also the best side for seeing the northern barrier islands of Denmark shortly after leaving Esbjerg.
