TXL → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic views of Northern Germany's urban centers and the massive industrial heartland of the Ruhr area during the descent.
Berlin-Spandau
A direct look at the Spandau Citadel and the confluence of the Havel and Spree rivers near the departure point.
Elbe River Crossing
Dramatic views of the Elbe river winding through the plains of Saxony-Anhalt near the city of Magdeburg.
Steinhuder Meer
Lower Saxony's largest lake appears as a distinctive blue patch northwest of the city of Hannover.
The Ruhrgebiet
The dense industrial sprawl of Dortmund, Essen, and Duisburg creates an impressive urban landscape during the approach.
Signal Iduna Park
Dortmund's massive football stadium is often visible as a bright yellow-accented landmark among the urban density.
The right side is ideal for photographers as the sun remains to the south, providing well-lit views of the Ruhr area. During the final approach into DUS, you often fly directly over the industrial heritage sites of the Ruhr, making for excellent low-altitude urban sightseeing.
Potsdam & Sanssouci
Aerial perspective of the historic Prussian palaces and the sprawling gardens of Sanssouci Park shortly after takeoff.
Fläming Nature Park
Glacially formed hills featuring a mosaic of dense pine forests and rolling agricultural fields in Brandenburg.
Harz Mountains
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Brocken peak is visible on the southern horizon.
Sauerland Forest
The transition into North Rhine-Westphalia features the undulating, wooded terrain of the Arnsberg Forest.
Sit here for views of the Prussian cultural landscape early in the flight. Afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side as you fly west-southwest. Keep an eye out for the Möhne Reservoir as you enter the Sauerland region.
