Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the high Swiss Alps, the scenic crossing of Lake Constance, and a spectacular view of the historic palaces in Potsdam during the final approach into Berlin.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

Deep blue waters transitioning from the North African coast toward the rugged western shores of Corsica.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks and the glacier-carved valleys of central Switzerland.

💧

Lake Constance

The vast 'Bodensee' where the borders of Switzerland, Germany, and Austria meet at the foot of the mountains.

🏰

Sanssouci Park

Aerial view of the sprawling UNESCO-listed palace grounds and gardens in Potsdam just minutes before landing.

🏙️

Spandau Citadel

The historic Renaissance fortress and the winding Havel River as the plane aligns for the TXL runway.

For the best visibility of the Alps, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountain peaks and the German countryside without creating haze. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the Potsdam palaces which appear briefly on the left.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Gulf of Hammamet

Beautiful views of the Tunisian 'Sahel' coastline and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean shortly after takeoff.

🇮🇹

Tyrrhenian Sea

Vistas of the Italian coastline and potentially the island of Elba depending on the specific air corridor.

⛰️

The Dolomites

The sharp, jagged limestone formations of the Eastern Alps visible in the distance over the Austrian-Italian border.

🍺

Munich & Bavaria

A chance to spot the sprawling Bavarian capital and the iconic Allianz Arena on a clear day.

🗼

Berlin TV Tower

The iconic Fernsehturm and the dense center of Berlin visible on the horizon during the final approach path.

The right side is excellent for catching the Tunisian sunrise on early departures. As you approach Berlin, the right side provides a panoramic view of the city's vast urban sprawl and the iconic TV Tower in the distance. Note that the afternoon sun can be quite intense on this side during the northbound journey.
