Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the UNESCO Middle Rhine Valley shortly after takeoff and typically offers the most iconic views of the Berlin skyline and the TV Tower during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

Look down to see the dense concentration of medieval castles perched above the Rhine river near Koblenz.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are visible in the distance to the south as you cross central Germany.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

The 'Green Heart of Germany' provides a stunning continuous ridge of dark green spruce and fir trees.

🗼

Berlin City Center

Unrivaled views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower), the Reichstag, and the Tiergarten park during the approach to Tegel.

✈️

TXL Final Approach

Dramatic low-altitude flight over the dense urban residential blocks of Reinickendorf and Wedding.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. For the best views of the Berlin skyline, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your photo of the TV Tower isn't blocked by the engine. Late afternoon flights offer beautiful golden-hour light over the Rhine.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🍇

Moselle Valley

Breathtaking views of the winding Moselle river and its steep, terraced vineyards immediately after departure.

🌲

Eifel National Park

Aerial perspective of the vast deciduous forests and volcanic landscapes of the North Eifel region.

🏔️

Harz Mountains

Spot the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist or snow depending on the season.

🏰

Potsdam Palaces

A clear view of the sprawling Sanssouci Park and its historic Prussian palaces during the descent.

🌊

Lake Wannsee

The large glacial lakes on the outskirts of Berlin, popular for sailing and summer recreation.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers excellent views of the Brandenburg lake districts just before landing. Look out for the 'Brocken' mountain approximately midway through the flight.
