Which side of the plane to sit from Jerez Airport (Jerez) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional vantage point for the Andalusian coastline at takeoff, the rugged Cantabrian mountains, the French Atlantic coast, and a superior view of the Rhine river during the final approach into Düsseldorf.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bay of Cádiz

Breathtaking views of the Atlantic coastline and the white towns of the Costa de la Luz immediately after departure.

🦆

Doñana National Park

The vast wetlands and marshes of the Guadalquivir river delta, one of Europe's most important nature reserves.

⛰️

Cantabrian Mountains

Dramatic limestone peaks of Northern Spain as the flight crosses towards the Bay of Biscay.

🏖️

Biscay Coastline

Views of the French Silver Coast (Côte d'Argent) and the massive Dune of Pilat near Bordeaux.

🗼

Paris Distant View

On clear days, the sprawling urban center of Paris can often be spotted to the east while flying over central France.

🏰

Rhine River Bend

A stunning view of the winding Rhine river and the historical center of Düsseldorf during the final descent.

Sit on the left (A seats) for the best views of the Spanish coastline upon takeoff. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic. During the descent into DUS, keep your camera ready for the Rhine River bridges and the Rheinturm telecommunications tower.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Pyrenees Range

The snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France are visible in the distance to the east.

🏙️

Madrid Metro Area

Views of the sprawling Spanish capital and its iconic four skyscrapers (Cuatro Torres) if the path remains inland.

🍇

French Vineyards

The patterned landscapes of the Bordeaux and Loire Valley wine regions as you transit through France.

🏘️

Belgian Border Cities

Densely packed European cities like Liège and the rolling hills of the Ardennes shortly before the German border.

⚽

Ruhr Area Stadiums

As you enter German airspace, look for the massive industrial parks and prominent football stadiums of the Rhine-Ruhr region.

Choose the right side (F seats) for the best lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the high Pyrenees peaks if the flight corridor is shifted eastward. It also offers a great perspective of the industrial Ruhr area landscape just before landing.
