Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Jersey Airport (Jersey)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most iconic sights, including the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains, culminating in a spectacular view of Mont-Saint-Michel during the descent into Jersey.
The Black Forest
Lush evergreen canopies and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald shortly after departing Stuttgart.
Strasbourg & Rhine
Aerial view of the Rhine River and the historic European Parliament hub in Strasbourg.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded peaks and glacial lakes of the Ballons des Vosges in Eastern France.
Paris Peripheral
On clear days, the southern outskirts of the French capital and the Eiffel Tower are visible on the horizon.
Mont-Saint-Michel
The breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage island abbey, often visible on the left during the final approach.
Gulf of Saint-Malo
The dramatic tidal flats and turquoise waters of the Brittany coastline before reaching the island.
Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mont-Saint-Michel. It usually appears 15 minutes before landing. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French coast without glare.
Stuttgart Skyline
A great view of the Neckar Valley and Stuttgart city center depending on the takeoff direction.
Palatinate Forest
Dense woodland and red sandstone formations of the Pfälzerwald to the north.
Normandy Plains
A geometric patchwork of French agricultural fields and small rural villages.
The Seine Loops
The massive, winding bends of the Seine River as it snakes through Normandy toward the sea.
Cotentin Peninsula
The rugged coastline near Cherbourg and the northern French beaches.
Jersey North Coast
Rugged cliffs and secluded bays like Plemont and Greve de Lecq as you bank for landing.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is particularly good for seeing the dramatic white cliffs of the Normandy coast and the northern tip of the Cotentin Peninsula.
