EDIBRE

Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Scottish coastline upon departure and a spectacular perspective of the East Frisian Islands and the Weser estuary during the descent into Bremen.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Firth of Forth

Aerial views of the iconic Forth Bridges and the coastal towns of Fife shortly after takeoff.

⚙️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of wind turbines visible in the North Sea as the flight approaches the German coast.

🏝️

East Frisian Islands

A chain of islands including Spiekeroog and Wangerooge along the northern coast of Germany.

⚓️

Jade Bight

The large bay near Wilhelmshaven, showcasing significant maritime traffic and coastal wetlands.

🥨

Weser Estuary

Following the path of the Weser River as it winds through the North German Plain toward Bremen.

The left side is optimal for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the unique tidal patterns of the Wadden Sea. Seats in front of the wing provide the clearest views of the German coastline.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏰

Edinburgh Skyline

Direct views of Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, and the historic Old Town during the initial climb.

🏔️

Lammermuir Hills

The rolling green uplands of the Scottish Borders as the plane heads south-east.

🏖️

East Anglian Coast

Potential distant views of the Norfolk coastline depending on the specific flight corridor over the North Sea.

🐄

Lower Saxony Plains

The patchwork of agricultural fields and traditional German villages surrounding Bremen.

🏟️

Weser Stadium

If the flight approaches from the south, look for the home of Werder Bremen along the river banks.

Select the right side if you want the best chance to see Edinburgh's city center immediately after departure. On evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the North Sea. Be aware that wing position can obstruct the view of the city on final approach.
