Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the English Pennines shortly after takeoff and the iconic Berlin city skyline including the TV Tower and Tiergarten during the final approach.
The Pennines
Rugged hills and moorlands forming the backbone of Northern England shortly after takeoff from Liverpool.
Humber Estuary
The massive suspension bridge and industrial port of Hull visible as you leave the English coast.
Wadden Sea
Distinctive tidal flats and the West Frisian Islands as the aircraft crosses into European airspace.
Elbe River
The winding curves of the Elbe river cutting through the North German Plain near Magdeburg.
Berlin Cityscape
Unparalleled views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and central Berlin during the descent into the capital.
Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Berlin's landmarks during landing. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting for the UK scenery, while sunset flights offer a dramatic silhouette of the Berlin skyline.
Snowdonia
On clear days, the distant peaks of North Wales are visible to the south during the initial climb.
East Anglian Fens
The flat, agricultural patchwork and network of drainage canals in the east of England.
Ruhr District
The dense industrial sprawl and urban centers of Western Germany's manufacturing heartland.
Harz Mountains
The prominent Brocken peak is often visible in the distance to the south when cruising over Central Germany.
Brandenburg Lakes
The lush forests and numerous lakes such as Müggelsee that surround Berlin's southern perimeter.
Keep an eye out for the industrial landscape of the Ruhr area midway through the flight. This side is particularly scenic in winter when the Harz Mountains are snow-capped and highly visible against the horizon.
