JER โ†’ HAJ

Which side of the plane to sit from Jersey Airport (Jersey) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the historic Normandy coastline, the industrial beauty of the Seine estuary, and the rolling hills of the Teutoburg Forest on the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ต

Cotentin Peninsula

Stunning aerial views of the rugged French coastline and the D-Day landing beaches.

๐Ÿšข

Le Havre & Seine

Visualizing the massive port infrastructure and the winding mouth of the Seine River.

๐ŸŒพ

Picardy Region

Flight path over the historic battlefields and rural expanses of northern France.

๐ŸŒฒ

Teutoburg Forest

Dark green forested ridges that signal the start of the descent into Lower Saxony.

๐Ÿฐ

Hannover Skyline

Excellent views of the New Town Hall and Maschsee lake when landing from the west.

The right side is essential for seeing the French coast shortly after takeoff from Jersey. Try to fly in the morning for the best illumination of the Normandy cliffs, though you may encounter some sun glare. Look for the distinct curve of the Seine river as it enters the sea near Le Havre.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒŠ

English Channel

Panoramic views of the world's busiest shipping lanes during the initial climb.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

Flanders Plains

The flat, patchwork landscape of western Belgium and the southern Netherlands border.

๐Ÿšœ

Mรผnsterland

Scenic agricultural landscapes of Westphalia with its characteristic parkland scenery.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Bielefeld

A clear view of the city nestled at the foot of the Teutoburg Forest ridges.

Opt for the left side during evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea in the distance. This side is typically better if you want to avoid direct glare during midday flights heading northeast.
