Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers unparalleled views of the high Alpine peaks and the Pyrenees, plus a superior perspective of the Berlin city center during the standard descent into the Tegel area.
Balearic Sea
Clear turquoise waters as the flight path hugs the Mediterranean coast northwards.
The Pyrenees
Spectacular snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Swiss Alps
High-altitude views of the Mont Blanc massif and major glaciers if the path is clear.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' lake situated at the meeting point of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Berlin TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm and the dense urban core of Berlin visible on the final approach leg.
This is the prime side for scenery. The Alps appear roughly halfway through the journey; watch for the sharp transition from the French plains to jagged peaks. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for the mountain ranges and the Berlin skyline.
Costa Blanca
Dramatic views of the white sandy coast and the city of Valencia shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of southern-central France.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany as you enter German airspace.
Potsdam Palaces
The historic Sanssouci Park and Prussian architecture visible during the low-altitude approach.
Spandau District
Views of the Havel River and the historic Spandau Citadel just before touchdown.
Sit forward of the wing for clear views of the Spanish coastline. This side is ideal for morning flights as it remains in the shade, reducing glare on your windows for better photography of the French interior.
