Which side of the plane to sit from Malta International Airport (Malta) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive winner, providing a front-row seat to the smoking crater of Mount Etna and the majestic, jagged peaks of the Dolomites.
Mount Etna
The flight's primary highlight, visible shortly after takeoff on the island of Sicily.
The Dolomites
Iconic jagged limestone peaks and deep green valleys while crossing the Alps.
Bavarian Plateau
Views of the rolling hills of Southern Germany and the outskirts of Munich.
Saxon Switzerland
Dramatic sandstone mountains visible during the descent into the Berlin region.
Book a seat on the right and stay alert within the first 20 minutes for Mount Etna. Morning flights offer the best front-lighting for the Alps, and a seat in front of the wing is recommended to avoid heat haze from the engines.
Mediterranean Sea
A stunning deep blue expanse immediately following takeoff from Malta's coast.
Italian Tyrrhenian Coast
Views of the shoreline near Rome and the scenic landscape of the Lazio region.
Western Alps
Distant but clear views of high-altitude glaciers and the Swiss mountain ranges.
Brandenburg Lakes
The lush, water-rich landscape surrounding Berlin during the final approach.
Choose this side during late afternoon or evening flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean and Tyrrhenian seas.
