TXL → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers a clear view of the Berlin city center upon takeoff, the winding Danube river, and the iconic descent over the Dead Sea and Jordan Valley.
Berlin Skyline
Direct views of the Fernsehturm and central districts if the flight departs toward the south or west.
Danube River
Watch the 'Blue Danube' snake through the Hungarian plains, with distant glimpses of Budapest.
Cyprus Coastline
Clear views of the northern and eastern shores of Cyprus as you cross the Mediterranean.
Levantine Coast
The sparkling Mediterranean coastline of Lebanon and Israel becomes visible during the initial descent.
Dead Sea
The turquoise waters and white salt shores of the world's lowest point are visible as you turn toward Amman.
Jordan Valley
A deep green rift valley cutting through the arid landscape just before touchdown at AMM.
The right side is the 'money' side for the approach into Amman. Ensure you have a window seat to capture the Dead Sea during the final 20 minutes of flight. For late afternoon flights, this side also provides spectacular Mediterranean sunsets.
Brandenburg Lakes
Aerial views of the dense forests and glacial lake systems surrounding Berlin shortly after departure.
Carpathian Mountains
The dramatic, rugged peaks of the Romanian Carpathians provide a high-altitude highlight mid-flight.
Taurus Mountains
The impressive limestone ridges of southern Turkey offer jagged shadows and snow-capped peaks in winter.
Syrian Desert
A vast expanse of golden and ochre sands as the flight nears the Jordanian border from the north.
The left side is ideal for morning departures to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers better views of the Anatolian plateau and the rugged Turkish interior. Look out for the snow-capped Carpathian range roughly 90 minutes into the flight.
