Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography as it faces north, away from the direct sun. It provides a better chance of seeing the Mazurian Lake District and typically offers the iconic view of the Berlin skyline during the descent into Tegel.

Moscow City Center
Distant glimpses of the Kremlin and the Seven Sisters skyscrapers during the initial climb and turn.
Mazurian Lake District
A stunning mosaic of thousands of lakes in northeastern Poland, often visible under clear skies.
Oder River
The winding river marking the international border between Poland and Germany.
Berlin Landmarks
Direct views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), the Reichstag, and the Tiergarten during the final approach to TXL.
The right side is the 'cool' side for this westward route, benefiting from indirect light. The highlight is the approach into Berlin; if the wind is from the west, the plane usually flies over the city center, giving right-side passengers a front-row seat to Berlin's historic core.

Moscow Suburbs
Aerial views of the sprawling southern Moscow districts and the dense green belt surrounding Domodedovo.
Belarusian Forests
Vast, uninterrupted stretches of deep green woodland as the flight passes north of Minsk.
Warsaw Skyline
Distant views of the Vistula River and the modern skyscraper cluster in the Polish capital to the south.
Brandenburg Plains
The flat, agricultural patchwork of the German state surrounding Berlin during the initial descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of urban sprawl and the Vistula River. However, be prepared for significant glare and direct sunlight during morning and midday flights, which can make photography difficult and heat up the cabin window.
