Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Rügen coastline and the expansive Mecklenburg Lake District before the final approach into Berlin's northern suburbs.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Gothenburg Archipelago

Aerial views of the rugged rocky islands and coastal inlets of Västra Götaland immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Rügen Island

Germany's largest island, featuring the famous white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park and the seaside resorts.

⚓

Stralsund Harbor

The historic Hanseatic city is clearly visible with its distinct brick gothic architecture and the Rügen Bridge.

🛶

Müritz National Park

Known as the land of a thousand lakes, this area offers a stunning mosaic of water and dense green forests.

🏙️

Berlin Fernsehturm

On the final descent, the iconic TV Tower and Alexanderplatz are often visible in the distance to the southeast.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the white cliffs of Rügen. During the descent, look for the transition from the Baltic coast to the flat, lake-rich plains of Brandenburg.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛥️

The Kattegat

Expansive views of the sea traffic between Sweden and Denmark during the initial cruise phase.

🏔️

Møns Klint

The spectacular 6-kilometer stretch of chalk cliffs on the Danish island of Møn can often be spotted across the water.

🏖️

Fischland-Darß-Zingst

A unique peninsula landscape featuring shallow lagoons (Bodden) and pristine sandy beaches on the German coast.

🏰

Schwerin Lake District

Views of the western part of the Mecklenburg lakes, occasionally catching a glimpse of the Schwerin Castle area.

🌳

Tegeler Forst

The dense forest surrounding Lake Tegel provides a lush green backdrop just seconds before touching down.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. It offers the best perspective of the Danish coastline early in the flight and the suburban landscapes of Spandau during the final landing phase.
