HRGDUS

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the turquoise Dalmatian coast of Croatia and the dramatic limestone peaks of the Eastern Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🪸

Red Sea Reefs

Immediate views of turquoise coral lagoons and the vibrant coastline of Hurghada during climb-out.

🏝️

Greek Archipelago

Glimpses of the scattered Cyclades and Ionian islands set against the deep blue Aegean Sea.

🗺️

Dalmatian Coast

The flight's visual highlight featuring the intricate coastline of Croatia and its thousands of islands.

⛰️

Julian & Eastern Alps

Direct views over the jagged peaks of Slovenia and the high alpine meadows of Austria.

🍺

Bavarian Heartland

The rolling green landscapes and neat agricultural patterns of Southern Germany as you head northwest.

The right side is unbeatable for the Balkan coastline. For the best experience, choose a seat away from the wing to fully capture the Croatian islands. Early morning flights are ideal on this side as the sun stays to the east/south, beautifully illuminating the alpine terrain without glare.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Cairo & Nile Delta

Aerial view of the sprawling Egyptian capital and the lush green triangle of the Nile Delta meeting the Mediterranean.

📐

Pyramids of Giza

On clear days, the Great Pyramids are visible on the western desert edge as the plane turns north toward Europe.

🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

A long stretch of deep azure waters before making landfall over the southern European coastline.

🏔️

Swiss-Austrian Alps

Panoramic views of high-altitude glaciers and the rugged spine of the Central Alps.

🏰

Upper Rhine Valley

The scenic winding Rhine river, dotted with historic towns and industrial hubs, leading into Düsseldorf.

Sit on the left for the best chance to spot the Pyramids shortly after departure from HRG. For the descent into DUS, this side often provides a better view of the city center if the aircraft approaches from the south. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Alps on this side.
