Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Alps shortly after takeoff from Friedrichshafen and typically provides the best vantage point for the Berlin city center during the approach into Tegel.

Right Side Highlights

🏔️

Alpine Panorama

Spectacular long-range views of the Austrian and Swiss Alps to the south-east during the initial climb.

🏰

Nuremberg

The historic Bavarian city with its medieval fortifications and Imperial Castle is often visible at cruise altitude.

🌲

Fichtel Mountains

Dense spruce forests and granite rock formations as the flight path transitions toward Saxony and Thuringia.

🌆

Berlin City Center

When landing from the west, this side provides iconic views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and Tiergarten park.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to see the Alps bathed in sunlight. For the approach into Tegel, the right side is legendary for its views of the Berlin skyline, provided the wind is blowing from the west.
