Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes, starting with the volcanic vistas of the eastern Canary Islands, the rugged Moroccan coastline, the vast Spanish interior, and a spectacular urban panorama of Berlin upon descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏜️

Fuerteventura and Lanzarote

A bird's-eye view of the stark, volcanic 'moonscapes' of the eastern Canary Islands shortly after departure.

🕌

Moroccan Coastline

Visibility of the African coast, including the cities of Casablanca and Rabat on clear days.

☀️

Spanish Meseta

The high plateau of central Spain, featuring golden fields and ancient terracotta-roofed villages.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic peaks and dramatic valleys of south-central France.

🗼

Paris Skyline

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of Paris can be spotted to the north.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, providing a scenic transition into the North German Plain.

🏢

Berlin City Center

A magnificent view of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and the dense urban grid of Berlin when approaching Tegel from the west.

This is the 'land-view' side. For the best views of the Canary Islands, ensure you are seated on the right during the first 20 minutes of flight. As the plane descends into Tegel, the right side usually offers the iconic view of Berlin's center. Afternoon flights will have the sun on this side, so window shades may be needed intermittently.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Pico del Teide

If departing to the north, look back to see Spain's highest peak on Tenerife rising above the clouds.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Stunning views of the deep blue Atlantic as the flight tracks along the Iberian Peninsula's western edge.

🌉

Lisbon and the Tagus

Distant views of the Portuguese capital and the expansive river estuary if the flight path is offshore.

⚓

Bay of Biscay

Crossing the turbulent waters of the bay before making landfall in western France.

🏰

Loire Valley

The lush greenery and winding rivers of central France, home to historic chateaux.

🌲

Weser Uplands

The dense forests and rolling hills of central Germany as you approach the capital.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh direct sun coming from the south and west. It provides a more tranquil, oceanic view for the first half of the journey. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for a glimpse of the distant silhouette of Tenerife.
