Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Dutch coastline, the industrial scale of the Port of Rotterdam, and the iconic Berlin skyline during the final approach phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Thames Estuary

Clear views of the winding river mouth and the expanding container ports of Essex shortly after takeoff.

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

The massive Maasvlakte reclamation project and Europe's largest seaport are visible as you cross the Dutch coast.

🇳🇱

Dutch Polders

Intricate patterns of reclaimed land, canals, and greenhouses across South Holland and Utrecht.

🏢

Berlin Cityscape

On a typical westerly approach, the left side provides views of the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and central landmarks.

🛶

Müggelsee

Berlin's largest lake and the surrounding green forests are prominent during the descent into the airfield.

Book a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the North Sea coastline. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the vibrant greens of the German plains. Look for the massive offshore wind farms as you exit the English Channel.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Kentish Countryside

The 'Garden of England' with its rolling hills and orchards is visible as the plane turns east.

🛳️

English Channel

Watch the dense shipping lanes and cargo vessels navigating one of the world's busiest maritime routes.

🏰

Flemish Borderlands

Views stretching toward the Belgian border and the historic cities of the southern Netherlands.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Brocken peak can be seen to the south over Central Germany.

🏗️

BER Infrastructure

A close-up view of the sprawling Berlin Brandenburg Airport complex and the old Schönefeld terminals.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow reflecting off the North Sea. This side is also better for observing the detailed runway and terminal layout of the new BER airport complex during taxiing and final landing.
