Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Masurian Lake District in Poland and typically provides the best angle for spotting the Berlin skyline and the iconic TV Tower during the final approach into the airport.
Sheremetyevo Grounds
Excellent views of the northern terminal complexes and the vast forest surrounding the airport during departure.
Masurian Lake District
One of the route's most beautiful features, showcasing thousands of interconnected lakes in northern Poland.
Baltic Horizon
On exceptionally clear days at cruising altitude, the faint blue line of the Baltic Sea can be seen far to the north.
Berlin TV Tower
During the descent into Berlin-Brandenburg/Schönefeld, the city center and the Alexanderplatz tower are often visible.
BER Airport Layout
A full view of the massive new airport infrastructure as the plane turns for its final landing sequence.
The right side avoids the harsh southern sun glare during daytime flights, making it better for photography. For the best view of the Berlin TV Tower, monitor the flight path as you cross the Oder river; the right side is preferred for the standard approach from the east.
Moscow Urban Sprawl
Aerial views of the massive residential districts and highway networks of southern Moscow shortly after takeoff.
Berezina River
Visible as the flight crosses Belarus, this historic river winds through dense forested marshlands.
Warsaw Skyline
On clear days, the high-rise buildings and the Palace of Culture and Science are visible to the north as you bypass the city.
Masovian Plains
A patchwork of traditional long, narrow Polish farm strips creating a unique geometric pattern on the landscape.
Flying during the winter provides a stunning high-contrast view of the snow-covered Russian and Belarusian forests. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Warsaw skyline isn't obstructed by the engine.
