HRG → HAM
Which side of the plane to sit from Hurghada International Airport (Hurghada) to Hamburg Airport (Hamburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the dense green of the Nile Delta, the stunning island-dotted coastline of Croatia, and a direct view of the most rugged Austrian Alpine peaks before descending over the Elbe River.
Nile Delta
The sharp contrast where the lush green agricultural triangle meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Ionian Islands
The vibrant turquoise waters surrounding the islands of Corfu and Paxi.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Spectacular views of thousands of islands and the rugged coastline of Croatia.
Austrian Alps
Dramatic and close-up views of the snow-capped Tauern range peaks.
Hamburg Port
The massive container terminals and the winding Elbe River just before landing.
The right side is the star for this route. You get the best angle of the Adriatic archipelago and the high peaks of the Austrian Alps. For morning departures, the sun is high enough to illuminate the terrain without causing excessive glare. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Croatian coast roughly three hours into the flight.
Alexandria Coastline
The historic Egyptian port city and the western edge of the Nile Delta as it meets the sea.
Mediterranean Expanse
Vast blue waters with visible shipping lanes connecting Europe and Africa.
Western Alps
Distant views of the high ridges and glaciers along the Austrian-Italian border region.
German Highlands
Rolling forested hills of the Thuringian Forest and the Harz Mountains in central Germany.
Northern Plains
The flat, geometric patterns of agricultural land in Lower Saxony during the final descent.
Choose the left side for views of the Egyptian coastline and Alexandria. On the final approach into Hamburg, this side often sees the urban sprawl of the city suburbs. During winter, look for the snow-covered peaks of the Southern Alps approximately three and a half hours after departure.
