BERLTN

Our Recommendation
8.4

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏰

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🗼

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.
