AGPSXF

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic geological views, including the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, distant vistas of the Swiss Alps, and the scenic lake districts of Brandenburg during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Clear views of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto, often covered in snow year-round.

🏔️

The Alps Panorama

On clear days, the entire northern arc of the Swiss and Austrian Alps is visible on the eastern horizon.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.

🏰

Franconia & Thuringia

A landscape of medieval towns, red-roofed villages, and the dense Thuringian Forest.

⛵

Brandenburg Lakes

The sparkling lakes of Wannsee and Müggelsee provide a stunning backdrop for the final approach into Berlin.

Sit on the right side for the best chance to spot the Alps in the distance. During the winter, the snow-capped Pyrenees are a major highlight. For the arrival at SXF, this side usually offers the best views of Berlin's surrounding nature and urban sprawl.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The high, arid plateau of central Spain, featuring unique ochre-colored landscapes and deep river gorges.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Rugged limestone formations and deep green valleys marking the border between Spain and France.

🍷

Bordeaux & French Vineyards

Lush, geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards stretching across the Aquitaine region.

🏰

Loire Valley

Views of the winding Loire River and the dense forests surrounding historic French chateaux.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The distinctive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers may be visible if the flight path tracks over western Germany.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is better for observing the geometric beauty of French agriculture and the winding river systems of the Rhine-Main area.
