Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the high Austrian Alps and the best vantage point for the Hamburg skyline and Alster Lake during the standard approach into HAM.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged karst mountains visible shortly after takeoff from Pristina.

❄️

Hohe Tauern

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps, including Grossglockner in the distance.

🏙️

Bavarian Plateau

A clear view of the rolling green landscapes of southern Germany and suburban Munich.

🌲

Harz National Park

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak.

⚓

Hamburg City Center

On final descent, views of the Outer Alster Lake and the historic city hall.

Book an 'A' seat for the best mountain panoramas. Morning flights are ideal to avoid glare. If the wind is from the west, the left side offers an iconic view of the Elbphilharmonie and the harbor during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏘️

Danube River

Aerial views of the winding Danube as it flows through the Pannonian Basin.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

The vast, dark green canopy of the border region between Czechia and Germany.

🏰

Dresden Skyline

A glimpse of the historic 'Florence on the Elbe' and its baroque architecture.

🏗️

Leipzig-Halle

Overview of the major logistics hubs and industrial landscapes of eastern Germany.

🚢

Elbe River Valley

The widening river as it snakes through northern Germany toward the North Sea.

An 'F' seat is best for seeing the eastern German plains and the industrial heartland. This side is better for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing harsh reflections on the window.
