Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Billund Airport (Billund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred as it offers a superior view of the German mountain ranges, the sprawling city and port of Hamburg, and the final approach directly over the colorful Legoland Billund resort.
Swabian Jura
Early flight views of the unique limestone plateaus and dramatic escarpments of Southern Germany.
Harz National Park
Clear views of Northern Germany's highest peaks, including the legendary Brocken summit.
Hamburg Port
A spectacular aerial perspective of the Elbe river and one of Europe's largest shipping container terminals.
Legoland Billund
During the final descent, look out for the vibrant, toy-like structures of the original Legoland park.
The Right Side is essential for the approach into Billund; sit mid-to-front to ensure the engine or wing doesn't block the view of Hamburg or the Legoland resort just before landing.
Black Forest Edge
Initial climb offers views of the dense, dark evergreen canopy of the northern Schwarzwald region.
Frankfurt Metropolitan Area
Distant views of the 'Mainhattan' skyline and the busy hub of Frankfurt Airport to the west.
North Sea Coastline
As the plane enters Danish airspace, the rugged coastline and the Wadden Sea become visible.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight glare, providing better conditions for photography of the North Sea coastline during the descent.
