LCADUS

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is the superior choice for this route, offering a stunning panoramic view of the Greek Dodecanese islands, the majestic southern ridges of the Alps, and a better perspective of the Rhine River during the final descent into Düsseldorf.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🇨🇾

Cyprus Coastline

Breathtaking views of the Akamas Peninsula and the crystal-clear turquoise waters as you depart the island.

🏝️

Dodecanese Islands

Aerial perspectives of Rhodes, Kos, and numerous smaller Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

A spectacular front-row seat to the snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys of the southern Alpine range.

🌊

Rhine River Valley

As the plane descends, enjoy views of the winding Rhine and the lush landscapes of the North Rhine-Westphalia region.

🏰

Cologne Skyline

On clear days during the final approach, the iconic spires of the Cologne Cathedral are often visible in the distance.

Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For daytime flights departing LCA in the morning, the left side avoids direct southern sun glare while crossing Central Europe. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes before landing for the Rhine views.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Taurus Mountains

The rugged, dramatic limestone peaks of the Turkish coast are visible shortly after departure from Cyprus.

🏙️

Balkan Capitals

High-altitude views of Sofia and Belgrade are common as the flight path crosses over Bulgaria and Serbia.

💧

The Danube River

The massive, winding blue ribbon of the Danube is visible as it cuts through the Pannonian Basin.

🥨

Bavarian Heartland

Views of the rolling hills and dense forests of southern Germany, including the outskirts of Munich.

🏭

Ruhr Metropolis

A dense urban landscape and industrial architecture appear as you enter the final approach phase into Düsseldorf.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from Larnaca. It also offers a better view of the continental plains of Eastern Europe. If landing toward the West at DUS, you may see the sprawling Essen and Dortmund metropolitan areas.
