Central London
Unmatched views of the Shard, Tower Bridge, and the City skyline during an easterly departure.
Thames Estuary
The widening river and the massive London Gateway port facilities as you head toward the sea.
Zeeland Delta
The intricate network of islands, dams, and bridges of the Dutch coast near Rotterdam.
Dutch Polders
Precisely geometric agricultural fields reclaimed from the sea across the Netherlands.
Lower Rhine
The winding path of the Rhine river as the aircraft begins its final descent into Düsseldorf.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the London skyline from the south. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up if departing to the east.

Garden of England
The lush, rolling green hills of Kent and the North Downs visible shortly after takeoff.
Port of Antwerp
One of Europe's largest shipping hubs with massive container terminals visible from altitude.
Ruhr Industrial Area
The dense urban and industrial sprawl of western Germany's manufacturing heartland.
Düsseldorf Rhine Tower
The city's tallest landmark and the Media Harbor district visible during the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the light hits the German industrial landscape with a golden hue. If the plane lands from the northeast, you will get a panoramic view of the Düsseldorf city center and the Rhine river bridges.
