TGD → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Podgorica Airport (Podgorica) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Adriatic coastline shortly after takeoff, followed by a breathtaking crossing of the Julian Alps and a scenic approach over the Rhine Valley into Düsseldorf.
Adriatic Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and the fragmented islands of the Croatian coast during the initial climb.
Julian Alps
A front-row seat to the snow-capped peaks of Slovenia, including the iconic Mount Triglav.
Lake Chiemsee
The largest lake in Bavaria, known as the Bavarian Sea, visible as the flight enters German airspace.
Rhine River
Aerial views of the winding Rhine River and its industrial landscapes during the descent into DUS.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. On evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Dinaric Alps and the Adriatic. Watch for the Istrian Peninsula about 30 minutes into the flight.
Lake Skadar
Immediately after takeoff, see the largest lake in the Balkans spanning the Montenegro-Albania border.
Durmitor National Park
Aerial perspective of the dramatic limestone massifs and deep canyons of northern Montenegro.
Salzburg & Berchtesgaden
Views of the Austrian Alps and the historic city of Salzburg nestled near the German border.
Spessart Forest
The dense, hilly woodland of central Germany provides a lush green tapestry before the final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to capture the early light hitting the peaks of Durmitor. Keep your camera ready immediately after departure from TGD for the best views of Lake Skadar's northern wetlands.
