FRA β TXL
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the Berlin city center, including the TV Tower and the government district, especially during the standard approach from the west.
Thuringian Forest
Continuous stretches of dense forest and hills throughout central Germany.
Elbe River
The silver ribbon of the Elbe winding through the Saxony-Anhalt plains.
Olympic Stadium
The massive, historic stadium is clearly visible as the plane enters the Berlin urban area.
Berlin TV Tower
The Fernsehturm stands out prominently against the flat Brandenburg horizon.
Reichstag & City Center
Direct views of the government district and the dense urban core of Berlin on final approach.
Secure an 'F' seat for the best panoramic view of Berlin. Sunset flights provide a dramatic golden glow over the city's landmarks. Keep your camera ready as soon as the landing gear drops, as the low-altitude urban flyover happens quickly.
Frankfurt Skyline
A stunning view of 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers immediately after takeoff from FRA.
Taunus Mountains
The GroΓer Feldberg peak and lush green ridges of this central German range.
Potsdam Palaces
Aerial perspective of Sanssouci Park and its historic Prussian architecture during descent.
Havel River
The scenic lakes and winding waterways of the Wannsee area on the Berlin outskirts.
Spandau District
Industrial and residential views of Western Berlin just before touching down at Tegel.
Choose an 'A' seat for northern views. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Harz mountains in the distance and the Potsdam palace grounds.
