EXT → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Exeter International Airport (Exeter) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular sequence of the English South Coast, the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, and the historic cities of Flanders before descending into the Rhine-Ruhr region.
Jurassic Coast
The red Triassic sandstone cliffs of East Devon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are visible immediately after departure.
Isle of Wight
A clear view of the 'Diamond Isle' and the iconic chalk stacks of The Needles at its western tip.
White Cliffs of Dover
The most famous landmark of the English coast, standing out brilliantly against the blue waters of the Channel.
Historic Flanders
Aerial perspectives of the densely populated and historic regions of Bruges, Ghent, and the massive Port of Antwerp.
This side is superior for coastal photography. Sit here for the best chance to see the iconic Dover cliffs. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, but the golden light on the chalk cliffs is worth the glare. Look for the English Channel shipping lanes below which are some of the busiest in the world.
Somerset and Mendips
Aerial views of the rolling green hills of the Somerset countryside shortly after takeoff from Exeter.
Thames Estuary
Observe the widening River Thames as it flows past London into the North Sea, often bustling with cargo ships.
Zeeland Delta
The intricate network of islands, peninsulas, and massive storm surge barriers along the southwestern Dutch coast.
Port of Rotterdam
One of the world's largest and most complex industrial port landscapes stretching along the Nieuwe Waterweg.
Choose this side on evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft glow over the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinctive geometric patterns of Dutch polders and land reclamation projects as you cross into mainland Europe.
