Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a scenic overview of the Norwegian coastline upon departure, views of the Danish archipelago, and the iconic Berlin skyline including the TV Tower during the final approach.
Stavanger and Gandsfjorden
Aerial view of Stavanger city center and the deep blue waters of the surrounding fjords immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Jutland Coast
The intricate coastline of mainland Denmark, featuring fertile farmlands and coastal towns like Aarhus.
Fehmarn Belt
The strategic water crossing between Denmark and Germany, often dotted with heavy maritime traffic and ferries.
Mecklenburg Lake District
An expansive network of over a thousand lakes in Northern Germany, appearing as shimmering blue patches amidst dense forests.
Berlin City Center
On the standard northern approach to the airport, the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and Alexanderplatz are visible.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is optimal for the 'Berlin approach' which often circles the city center, offering views of the Spree River and the urban density of Mitte. In winter, look for the frozen surfaces of the Müggelsee lake just before landing.
Jæren Beaches
The long, sandy coastline south of Stavanger, known for its unique flat landscape and crashing North Sea waves.
North Frisian Islands
The distinctive shapes of Sylt and Amrum islands, surrounded by the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea tidal flats.
Elbe Estuary
The massive mouth of the Elbe River where it meets the North Sea, featuring giant container ships heading to Hamburg.
Potsdam Palaces
The historic parks and Prussian palaces of Potsdam, including Sanssouci, located just southwest of Berlin.
Offshore Wind Farms
Large clusters of wind turbines standing in the North Sea, showcasing Northern Europe's renewable energy infrastructure.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the North Sea and the Danish Wadden Sea. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to spot the sprawling parklands and lakes of the Havel region near Potsdam. Polarized sunglasses are recommended to see through the sea's glare during midday.
