GOT → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the Swedish coastline, the Oresund region connecting Sweden to Denmark, and the major German urban centers like Hamburg and the industrial Ruhr area during the final stages of the flight.
Halland Coastline
Aerial views of the Swedish west coast, featuring the rocky outcrops and beaches of Varberg and Halmstad shortly after departure.
Oresund Region
Depending on the flight path, look for the Oresund Bridge and the sprawling metropolitan area of Copenhagen and Malmö.
Lübeck Bay
The transition from the Baltic Sea to the German mainland, often passing near the historic port of Travemünde.
Hamburg & The Elbe
Clear views of Germany's second-largest city, including the massive container terminals of the Port of Hamburg and the winding Elbe River.
The Ruhr Metropolis
As the plane begins its descent into Düsseldorf, you will see the dense industrial and urban network of the Ruhr valley.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular during night flights when passing over the brightly lit clusters of Hamburg and the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff from GOT, you'll see the thousands of granite islands and the Vinga lighthouse marking the entrance to the harbor.
Kattegat Maritime Lanes
The busy sea route between Denmark and Sweden, frequently populated with large cargo ships and ferries.
Danish Jutland
Views of the eastern coast of mainland Denmark, featuring agricultural landscapes and small coastal towns like Aarhus.
Bremen
The historic Hanseatic city located on the Weser River, visible as the flight enters Northern German airspace.
Rhine River Bend
During the final approach into DUS, the right side often provides a direct view of the Rhine river snaking through the city of Düsseldorf.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. On arrival at DUS, look out for the Rhine Tower and the Media Harbor landmarks as the aircraft banks for its final approach.
