Which side of the plane to sit from Skopje Alexander the Great Airport (Skopje) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Hungarian capital, Budapest, and the lush biosphere of the Spreewald during the final descent into Berlin.
Budapest
A stunning view of the Danube, the Hungarian Parliament building, and the historic Buda Castle.
Western Carpathians
Rolling forested peaks stretching across the border of Slovakia and Poland.
Lusatian Mines
Massive open-cast lignite mines in East Germany that look like craters from above.
Spreewald
A UNESCO biosphere reserve south of Berlin, recognizable by its dense forest and intricate canal network.
The right side is essential for seeing the architectural layout of Budapest. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Carpathian mountains. On the final approach to the Berlin area, look for the massive 'Tropical Islands' dome, which is the largest free-standing hall in the world.
Belgrade
The capital of Serbia, clearly visible at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its unique turquoise-green water.
Prague
Aerial view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava river from a distance.
Ore Mountains
The scenic mountain range that marks the natural border between Czechia and Germany.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. Watch for the dramatic color shift of Lake Balaton, which is particularly vibrant during the summer months. During the descent, you may see the Elbe River winding through the German landscape.
