JER → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Jersey Airport (Jersey) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse landscape, offering clear views of the northern French coastline, the urban density of central Belgium, and the iconic Rhine river winding through the heart of Dusseldorf upon descent.
Cotentin Peninsula
View the rugged French coast of Normandy including the historic beaches and coastal towns.
Somme Bay
The unique estuarine landscape where the Somme river meets the English Channel, known for its changing tides.
Brussels Metropolitan Area
As the flight crosses Belgium, look for the dense urban sprawl and landmarks of the EU capital.
The Rhine River
The plane follows or crosses the silver ribbon of the Rhine as it approaches the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Dusseldorf Cityscape
An excellent view of the Rheinturm (Rhine Tower) and the modern architecture of the Media Harbour during the final approach.
The right side is generally superior for this route. It offers a great view of the French coast and a spectacular look at Dusseldorf's skyline during the descent. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Meuse and Rhine rivers. Late afternoon flights provide a beautiful warm glow over the German landscape.
The Channel Islands
Aerial view of Jersey's northern cliffs and the neighboring island of Alderney shortly after takeoff.
English Channel Traffic
A top-down perspective of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo vessels and ferries.
Belgian North Sea Coast
Sweeping views of the sandy beaches near Ostend and the massive port infrastructure of Zeebrugge.
Port of Rotterdam
On a clear day, look north to see the expansive industrial layout and cranes of Europe's largest seaport.
Lower Rhine Flatlands
The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields in the border region between the Netherlands and Germany.
Sit on the left if you want to catch a glimpse of the Channel Islands immediately after takeoff. This side is also excellent for spotting the North Sea coastline. Morning flights on this side are preferred as the sun will be behind you, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
