Which side of the plane to sit from Newquay Cornwall Airport (Newquai) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the English South Coast, including the Jurassic Coast and Isle of Wight, followed by a scenic approach over the Rhine into Düsseldorf.
St Michael's Mount
Catch a glimpse of the iconic island fortress if the flight path loops south during the initial climb.
Jurassic Coast
Stunning views of the UNESCO World Heritage coastline including Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.
Isle of Wight
The distinct diamond shape of the island and the Needles lighthouse protruding into the sea.
White Cliffs of Dover
Iconic chalk cliffs and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel Straits.
Düsseldorf Rhine Bend
A spectacular view of the Rhine Tower and the city's Altstadt on the final approach.
The right side is the premier scenic choice for this route. Sit here to see the iconic white cliffs and the Jurassic Coast. During descent into Düsseldorf, this side typically faces the city center and the dramatic loops of the Rhine river. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the English coast.
North Cornwall Coast
Rugged cliffs and sandy bays of Newquay and Padstow shortly after takeoff.
Bristol Channel
Panoramic views of the Severn Estuary and the bridges connecting England and Wales.
Greater London
A distant but clear view of the sprawling London metropolis and the Thames to the south.
Port of Antwerp
One of the world's largest ports with massive container terminals visible over Belgium.
Ruhr Area Industry
The industrial landscape and greenery of the North Rhine-Westphalia region on descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers excellent views of the rugged northern coastline of Cornwall and the industrial heart of the Benelux region. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the Severn Bridge.
