Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Harz Mountains, the historic city of Magdeburg, and the stunning palaces and lakes of Potsdam during the final descent into Berlin.
Ruhr Valley
Witness the dense urban and industrial heart of Germany, including cities like Dortmund and Essen.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak, the highest point in Northern Germany, is often visible on the southern horizon.
Magdeburg Cathedral
A glimpse of the historic skyline of Magdeburg sitting along the banks of the Elbe River.
Potsdam Palaces
Look for the Sanssouci Palace and the surrounding UNESCO World Heritage parkland just before the Berlin approach.
Berlin City Center
On a standard approach, you can see the TV Tower, the Reichstag, and the Tiergarten in the distance.
The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side provides the most iconic views of the approach into Berlin, specifically the Wannsee lake and the dense forests of the Grunewald. Ensure your window is clear for the descent over Potsdam, as it is the scenic highlight of the trip.
Rhine River Crossing
View the wide curves of the Rhine as you cross the border from the Netherlands into Germany near Wesel.
Hannover Skyline
A clear view of the capital of Lower Saxony, including the Maschsee lake and the New Town Hall.
Steinhuder Meer
The largest lake in Northwestern Germany, providing a distinct blue landmark amidst the green landscape.
North German Plain
Vast stretches of agricultural land and wind farms characteristic of the region between the Ems and Elbe rivers.
Lake Tegel
In the moments before touchdown, the aircraft skims over the northern shore of this scenic lake.
Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying eastward. It is the best side for observing the intricate canal systems of the Netherlands shortly after takeoff from Eindhoven. Keep an eye out for the Herrenhausen Gardens as you pass Hannover.
