BCN → TXL
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic portion of the flight: the crossing of the Swiss Alps and the aerial entry into Berlin's historic center.

Costa Brava
Glimpses of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and hidden coves as the plane turns north.
Swiss Alps
A spectacular panorama of snow-capped peaks, including views towards the Bernese Oberland and Lake Geneva.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Berlin Cityscape
On many approaches to TXL, this side offers views of the Fernsehturm, Reichstag, and the Tiergarten park.
The Alps transit usually occurs 45-60 minutes into the flight; keep your camera ready then. Note that morning flights may face direct sun glare on this side. If flying in winter, the low sun angle creates dramatic shadows over the mountain ridges.

Barcelona & Montserrat
Unmatched views of the Eixample grid and the jagged peaks of Montserrat monastery shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
The rugged, volcanic landscape of south-central France provides a textured terrain below.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies stretching across the southwestern corner of Germany.
Wannsee & Havel
The expansive lakes and forested islands surrounding Potsdam and southwestern Berlin during descent.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly rewarding during afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes and better photography conditions of the German countryside.
