Which side of the plane to sit from Shannon Airport (Shannon) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior mountain views including the Wicklow and Welsh ranges, followed by the industrial heart of Europe and the scenic approach into Berlin's lake-filled suburbs.
Wicklow Mountains
The granite peaks and deep glacial valleys of East Ireland visible before crossing the Irish Sea.
Snowdonia
The high, rugged peaks of North Wales, including Mount Snowdon, often visible across the water.
The Ruhr
The massive, interconnected industrial urban sprawl of Western Germany's economic heartland.
Harz Mountains
Scenic forested peaks and high plateaus of central Germany passing under the wing mid-flight.
Berlin Lakes
The sprawling Wannsee and Havel river systems visible during the final approach into the Berlin area.
The right side is ideal for capturing the rugged beauty of the Wicklow Mountains shortly after takeoff. Keep an eye out for Snowdonia's peaks when crossing the Irish Sea on clear days. For the final approach into Berlin, this side frequently provides views of the vast Müggelsee lake and the sprawling southern forest suburbs.
Shannon Estuary
Dramatic views of the Atlantic inlet and the rugged coastline immediately after takeoff from Shannon.
Irish Midlands
A patchwork quilt of deep green fields and dark peat bogs stretching across central Ireland.
Merseyside Coast
Clear views of Liverpool and the Wirral Peninsula as the flight crosses the English coastline.
Frisian Islands
The distinctive chain of sandy barrier islands and the Wadden Sea along the northern Dutch coast.
Northern German Plains
Vast agricultural expanses and the winding Elbe River leading toward the Berlin metropolitan area.
Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side offers the best perspective of the Frisian Islands when crossing the Dutch coastline. During the descent, look for the Elbe river winding through the plains of Lower Saxony.
