OLB → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (Olbia) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this northbound route as it offers direct views of the high peaks of the Western Alps, the rugged northern tip of Corsica, and the scenic winding course of the Rhine River during the descent into Germany.
Cap Corse
Aerial views of the rugged, finger-like peninsula at the northern tip of Corsica jutting into the Mediterranean.
The High Alps
Spectacular vistas of the Swiss Valais and Bernese Alps, including snow-capped peaks and massive glaciers.
Strasbourg and the Vosges
Glance out over the French border to see the historic city of Strasbourg and the rolling green Vosges mountains.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley
The UNESCO World Heritage section of the Rhine, famous for its steep vineyards and high density of medieval castles.
Ruhr Area Fringe
An impressive view of the industrial landscape and urban sprawl transitioning into the green Lower Rhine region.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains without direct sun glare. Watch for the 'Finger of Corsica' about 15 minutes after takeoff. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the Rhine River's loops near Koblenz and Bonn.
Tuscan Archipelago
Clear views of Elba and Capraia islands scattered across the shimmering Ligurian Sea.
Italian Lake District
Bird's-eye views of the deep blue waters of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como nestled in the Alpine foothills.
Central Swiss Alps
Views of the Glarus and Uri massifs, offering a dramatic landscape of rock and permanent ice.
Black Forest
The vast, dense evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald stretching across Southwest Germany.
Düsseldorf Skyline
On a northern approach, get a great view of the Rheinturm and the city's modern architecture just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise if flying very early. It provides a better perspective of the Italian Lakes and the expansive Black Forest. If DUS is landing to the North (Runway 05), the right side offers a direct view of the terminal and city center during final approach.
