JED → BER
Which side of the plane to sit from King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Suez Canal, the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean islands, and a spectacular approach into Berlin over Central Europe.
Red Sea Coastline
Vibrant turquoise reefs and the sprawling Jeddah waterfront immediately after takeoff.
Suez Canal
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's most important maritime shortcuts and the Great Bitter Lake.
Greek Archipelago
Stunning aerial vistas of Crete and the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea.
Prague Cityscape
Often visible on the flight path, showcasing the red roofs and historic bridges of the Czech capital.
Saxon Switzerland
Dense green forests and unique sandstone formations as you enter German airspace.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while viewing the Suez Canal. This side is also preferred for the standard approach patterns into BER, which often circle from the west, providing views of the city's southwestern lakes.
Hejaz Mountains
The rugged, ancient desert peaks of the Arabian Peninsula shortly after departure.
Sinai Peninsula
The dramatic, jagged mountains and desert landscapes near Mount Sinai.
Levantine Coast
Views of the Tel Aviv coastline and the dense urban centers of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Carpathian Mountains
The rolling peaks and high-altitude terrain spanning Romania and Hungary.
Dresden and Elbe River
The historic 'Florence on the Elbe' and its distinctive river bends during the final descent phase.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the European continent. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the stark contrast between the desert sands and the deep blue of the Gulf of Aqaba.
