Which side of the plane to sit from Bergerac-Roumanière Airport (Bergerac) to Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Zeeland delta and the innovative coastal defenses of the Netherlands during the final approach, along with scenic views of the Loire Valley châteaux.
Bergerac Vineyards
Immediate views of the Monbazillac and Bergerac wine estates surrounding the airport right after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic estates of the 'Garden of France' during mid-flight.
Zeeland Delta
The spectacular sight of the Delta Works, dams, and island networks of the southwest Netherlands.
Maasvlakte
A massive view of the reclaimed industrial land and container terminals of the Port of Rotterdam.
Dutch Coastline
Vibrant views of the North Sea beaches and dunes as the aircraft aligns for its final descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the North Sea coastline and the intricate network of islands in the Zeeland region. During the descent, look for the Maasvlakte extension of the port. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for potential sun glare; however, the sunset views over the Atlantic-facing coast can be stunning.
Dordogne River
Beautiful views of the limestone cliffs and dramatic river bends of the Périgord region shortly after departure.
Paris Horizon
Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense if the flight route tracks along the western corridor.
Port of Antwerp
A clear view of the Scheldt river and the massive industrial docks of Belgium's primary port.
Rotterdam Skyline
Excellent views of the Erasmus Bridge and the city's modern architecture just before touchdown.
Sologne Forest
Expansive views of the dense green forests and lakes in the central French region.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Paris skyline at a distance if the flight path tracks centrally. It also provides an excellent view of the urban sprawl of the Benelux region and the city center of Rotterdam on final approach. For morning flights, this side is preferable to avoid direct sunlight and capture clearer photos of the French countryside.
