Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic arrival experience, typically providing a panoramic view of the Edinburgh city center, Arthur's Seat, and the historic Old Town during the final approach.
Lower Rhine Valley
Lush green landscapes and the meandering Rhine River immediately after takeoff from Weeze.
Dutch Polders
Distinctive geometric patterns of reclaimed agricultural land across the central Netherlands.
The Cheviot Hills
The rolling green uplands and moorlands marking the border between England and Scotland.
Edinburgh Cityscape
Unrivaled views of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and Arthur's Seat on the descent into EDI.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the city. On late afternoon flights, the sun is positioned to the southwest, providing warm, direct lighting on the Edinburgh skyline as you land. Watch for the Pentlands just before touchdown.
Wadden Sea
The unique tidal flats and North Frisian Islands visible as the plane exits Dutch airspace.
North Sea Energy Hubs
Clusters of oil platforms and wind farms scattered throughout the North Sea crossing.
Holy Island
The historic Lindisfarne and the rugged Northumberland coastline appearing to the north.
Bass Rock
A striking volcanic island in the Firth of Forth, famous for its massive gannet colony.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise reflecting off the North Sea. Keep a sharp eye out for the Three Bridges over the Firth of Forth if the flight circles for a landing from the west.
