KTW → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dense urban landscape of the Ruhr Area and the sweeping curves of the Rhine River during the final descent into Düsseldorf.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak.
Teutoburg Forest
A long, narrow ridge of forested hills stretching across the landscape of Lower Saxony.
Ruhr Area
A massive urban-industrial landscape including Dortmund and Essen, showcasing Europe's industrial core.
Rhine River
The iconic silver ribbon of the Rhine becomes visible as the aircraft aligns with the DUS runways.
Düsseldorf Skyline
Excellent views of the Rheinturm and the modern Gehry-designed buildings in the Media Harbour.
Crucial for seeing the industrial heart of Germany. During sunset, the Rhine River reflects golden light, making the descent into DUS particularly scenic. This side typically offers a better view of the airport itself during the pattern.
Silesian Metropolis
View the sprawling industrial heart of Poland and the urban sprawl of Katowice shortly after takeoff.
Wrocław
Look for the distinctive loops of the Odra River and the historic bridges of this major Polish city.
Sudetes Mountains
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Karkonosze range are visible on the southern horizon.
Thuringian Forest
A vast expanse of dark green coniferous forest covering the rolling hills of central Germany.
Bergisches Land
The scenic green hills and valleys located just east of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and a chance to spot the distant mountains bordering Czechia. Watch for the Odra River as a primary navigational landmark early in the flight.
