BER → LTN
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (Berlin) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is preferred for its superior views of the Amsterdam canal system and the iconic London skyline during the final descent into the London area.
Potsdam and Havel Lakes
Shortly after takeoff, view the historic palaces and the network of lakes surrounding Potsdam.
Amsterdam City Center
A stunning birds-eye view of the concentric canal rings and the bustling Schiphol Airport hub.
Dutch Coastline
The intricate patterns of the Dutch polders and the sandy beaches of the North Sea coast.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines rising from the North Sea as you transit toward the UK.
London Skyline
On the approach to Luton, catch a distant but clear view of The Shard and Canary Wharf to the south.
Sit here on afternoon flights to benefit from the sun being on the opposite side, which reduces window glare for photos. Look out about 45 minutes into the flight for the best view of the Netherlands. During winter, choose early afternoon flights to ensure you cross the UK coast before sunset.
Berlin Urban Core
Depending on the takeoff direction, get a sweeping view of the TV Tower and the Spree river.
Volkswagen Autostadt
Spot the massive industrial complex of Wolfsburg, home to the world's largest car manufacturing plant.
IJsselmeer
The massive inland bay of the Netherlands, separated from the sea by the famous Afsluitdijk.
The Wash
The large rectangular bay and estuary on the east coast of England, known for its unique tidal flats.
Cambridge University
View the historic colleges and the distinctive green spaces of this world-renowned university city.
The right side is excellent for morning departures when the sun illuminates the landscape of Northern Germany and the Dutch islands. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, you will have a better view of the Frisian Islands chain. Ensure your window is clean as morning frost can sometimes obscure the view at high altitudes.
