Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of dramatic landscapes, ranging from the rugged Dinaric Alps and distant views of the snow-capped Austrian peaks to a fantastic aerial perspective of Prague's historic center during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏔️

Prokletije Mountains

Visible shortly after takeoff from PRN, these jagged limestone peaks of the 'Accursed Mountains' offer dramatic alpine scenery.

🏞️

Dinaric Karst

Unique limestone formations and deep canyons of the Balkan interior stretch across the horizon through Serbia and Bosnia.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

On clear days, the high peaks of the Eastern Alps are visible in the distance as the flight crosses towards Central Europe.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

The flight path often passes near the Czech capital, offering views of the Vltava River and the city's iconic spires.

🌊

Tegeler See

During the final descent into TXL, the left side provides a close-up view of this beautiful lake adjacent to the airport.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for the most rugged mountain terrain. In winter, the contrast between the snow-capped peaks and the valleys is particularly striking.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Danube River

Catch views of the winding Danube as it snakes through the Pannonian Basin near Budapest and the Hungarian border.

🇭🇺

Budapest Skyline

Depending on the specific air corridor, the Hungarian capital and its parliament building may be visible to the east.

🌲

Ore Mountains

The Erzgebirge mountain range provides a lush, forested border crossing between the Czech Republic and Germany.

🗼

Berlin City Center

On the final approach to Tegel, the right side often gets a panoramic view of the Berlin TV Tower and Alexanderplatz.

The right side is ideal for morning flights, as the rising sun illuminates the landscapes to the west. For the best view of the Berlin skyline during landing, look out the window as soon as the landing gear drops, as the airport is located very close to the urban center.
