Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Baltic coastline shortly after departure and provides a more iconic perspective of the Berlin city center and the Szczecin Lagoon during the descent.
Pomeranian Coastline
Beautiful stretches of white sandy beaches along the Baltic Sea visible during the early phase of flight.
Szczecin Lagoon
The massive estuary of the Oder River, featuring a unique mix of water and marshland topography.
Lower Oder Valley
International national park known for its biodiversity and flooded meadows near the German border.
Berlin City Center
Iconic views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), Reichstag, and the Spree River on the descent into the city.
The right side is ideal for capturing the transition from the Baltic coast to the urban density of Berlin. For the best photography of Berlin's landmarks, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the coastline views.
Kashubian Lake District
Dense pine forests and scattered glacial lakes visible shortly after takeoff from Gdansk.
Gorzów Wielkopolski
A clear view of this major Polish city situated along the banks of the Warta River.
Oder River Border
The meandering river that forms the natural border between Poland and Germany.
Grunewald Forest
Large forested area on the western edge of Berlin visible during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking into the sun during a morning flight to see the reflection on the Polish lakes. It offers a great view of the rural landscape of Western Poland and the expansive forests of Brandenburg.
