Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic crossing of the Balkans and Central Europe, featuring major cities like Belgrade and Prague, plus a high probability of seeing Berlin's city center on approach.
Troodos Mountains
Excellent views of the rugged central mountain range of Cyprus shortly after takeoff from Larnaca.
Sofia Skyline
The Bulgarian capital is often visible to the west, situated at the foot of the Vitosha Mountain.
Belgrade Confluence
Watch for the meeting of the Sava and Danube rivers as the flight crosses into Serbia.
Prague Panoramas
During the descent into Germany, the historic spires of Prague are frequently visible on clear days.
Berlin City Center
If the flight approaches from the south or west, you get a direct view of the TV Tower and central landmarks.
Opt for the left side on afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset. For the best views of the Troodos mountains, look out within the first 10 minutes. During the final 20 minutes, stay alert for the Berlin TV Tower if the aircraft circles the city.
Turkish Riviera
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and coastal cliffs of southern Turkey.
Taurus Mountains
The flight path crosses over these dramatic, often snow-capped peaks in Southern Anatolia.
Carpathian Arc
In the distance to the east, the sprawling mountain range of Eastern Europe is visible over Romania.
Spreewald Biosphere
The lush, canal-filled forest region south of Berlin is a highlight of the final approach.
Tropical Islands Dome
The world's largest freestanding hall, a former zeppelin hangar, is a landmark near the airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled for the Turkish coast roughly 40-50 minutes after departure. This side offers better views of the vast Brandenburg forest and lake districts just before landing.
