BER → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (Berlin) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, primarily for the spectacular final approach into Heathrow which typically provides front-row seats to the iconic London skyline.

Harz Mountains
Distant views of the Brocken peak and the forested ridges of Central Germany shortly after departure.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense network of cities including Dortmund and Essen forming Germany's industrial heartland.
Belgian Coastline
Excellent views of the beaches and the major shipping port of Zeebrugge before crossing the Channel.
Central London Skyline
Unrivaled views of The Shard, the London Eye, and the Tower of London during the descent.
Palace of Westminster
If landing toward the West, you will fly directly past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of London. On late afternoon flights, the sun is in the South, meaning the left side can be quite bright; bring sunglasses. If the wind is from the West (usual), the approach over the city is one of the world's best scenic arrivals.

Wembley Stadium
The iconic white arch of England's national stadium is visible if the plane approaches from the North-East.
The right side offers better views of the North Sea coastline and the intricate patterns of the Dutch deltas. It is generally the 'cooler' side during afternoon flights as it faces North, away from direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos without glare.
