MAH โ†’ TXL

Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the central Swiss Alps and Lake Constance, followed by a high-probability view of the Berlin city center including the TV Tower during the descent into Tegel.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
๐ŸŒŠ

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted deep blue vistas with occasional sightings of the northern tip of Corsica.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss Alps

Direct, stunning views of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you cross into Switzerland.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' lake where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Nuremberg Skyline

Clear views of the historic Bavarian city and its surrounding medieval fortifications.

๐Ÿ—ผ

Berlin TV Tower

The iconic Fernsehturm and the dense urban core of Berlin usually appear on the right side during the approach to TXL.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts; the flight path typically crosses the heart of the Swiss Alps about 50-60 minutes after departure. On approach to Berlin-Tegel, aircraft often bank in a way that provides this side with a panoramic view of the city's central monuments. In winter, ensure you fly during midday to see the snow-covered peaks in full light.

Black Forest

Potsdam Palaces

A glimpse of the Sanssouci Palace and its expansive gardens just before the final approach into Berlin.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for better views of the Balearic coastline. During late afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the French countryside. Watch for the Harz Mountains approximately 20 minutes before landing.
