Which side of the plane to sit from Ancona Falconara Airport (Ancona) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers the most dramatic views of the jagged Dolomites and a spectacular longitudinal perspective of the Alps and the Thuringian Forest during the descent into Germany.
Apennine Mountains
Breathtaking ridges of the central Italian backbone shortly after takeoff.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake visible on the western horizon with its deep blue waters.
The Dolomites
Iconic, jagged limestone massifs providing some of Europe's most dramatic mountain scenery.
Tyrolean Alps
Expansive views of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys near the Austrian border.
Munich Cityscape
A clear view of the Bavarian capital, including the Allianz Arena stadium.
Thuringian Forest
The dense, undulating green canopy of central Germany's famous highlands.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to ensure the sun is behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Dolomites. Watch for the Marmolada glacier approximately 35-40 minutes after departure from Ancona.
Adriatic Coast
Beautiful turquoise coastline and the white cliffs of the Conero Regional Park.
Venetian Lagoon
A shimmering distant view of Venice and its surrounding islands to the northeast.
Hohe Tauern
Stunning views of the Grossglockner, the highest mountain in Austria.
Chiemsee
The massive 'Bavarian Sea' featuring Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee islands.
Spreewald
The unique UNESCO-protected biosphere of canals and wetlands south of Berlin.
Berlin Skyline
Excellent views of the TV Tower and the city center during the final approach to Tegel.
The right side is superior for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Adriatic Sea. Look out for the distinct shape of the Chiemsee lake as you enter German airspace, which serves as a major waypoint before the descent.
