GOT β†’ BRU

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the intricate North Sea coastline, the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea islands, and the massive industrial landscape of the Port of Rotterdam during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Kattegat Sea

Vast views of the maritime corridor between Sweden and Denmark, often filled with cargo ships.

🏝️

North Frisian Islands

A spectacular sequence of sandy islands and tidal flats along the German and Dutch coasts.

🚜

Dutch Polders

The geometric perfection of reclaimed land in the Netherlands, featuring a lattice of canals and green fields.

βš“

Port of Rotterdam

One of the world's largest ports, visible with its massive container terminals and industrial infrastructure.

🌾

Flemish Countryside

The transition into Belgium features the distinctive, tightly packed agricultural plots of the Flanders region.

The right side is the star for coastal geography. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun reflecting off the Wadden Sea tidal flats. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to capture the intricate patterns of the Dutch delta and the massive shipping lanes approaching Rotterdam.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

BohuslΓ€n Archipelago

Immediately after takeoff, witness the rugged granite islands and coastal villages of Sweden's west coast.

πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

Danish Mainland

Aerial views of the Jutland peninsula and the Great Belt Bridge connecting Danish islands in the distance.

🏭

Bremen & Northern Germany

Clear sightlines of the industrial hubs and winding Weser river as the flight path crosses into Germany.

πŸ™οΈ

Antwerp Skyline

During the initial descent, the historic city of Antwerp and its cathedral are often visible to the east.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ

Brussels Urban Sprawl

A close-up view of the dense urban fabric of northern Brussels and the iconic Atomium if approaching from the north.

Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be behind you. This side is better for spotting major inland cities like Bremen and Antwerp. Watch for the 'turning point' over the Netherlands where the aircraft aligns for the final approach into Brussels.
