Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular sequence of the Thuringian Forest, the Bavarian Alps, the iconic Brenner Pass, and a stunning aerial view of Lake Garda during the descent.
Grunewald & Havel
See the expansive green lungs of western Berlin and the chain of lakes along the Havel river.
Bavarian Plateau
Potential views of the Allianz Arena and Munich's urban sprawl depending on the exact flight corridor.
Brenner Pass
A birds-eye view of the historic Alpine crossing route framed by massive limestone massifs.
The Dolomites
The UNESCO-listed jagged, pale peaks of the Italian Alps provide a dramatic backdrop mid-flight.
Lake Garda
A highlight of the route, offering a clear view of Italy's largest lake and its fjord-like northern tip.
Verona
Spot the ancient Roman Arena and the winding Adige River as the plane enters the Po Valley.
The right side is the premier choice for Alpine scenery. Ensure you are watching about 20-25 minutes before landing for the unmistakable blue expanse of Lake Garda. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Dolomites.
Berlin Skyline
Excellent views of the TV Tower, Spree River, and central Mitte district during the initial climb.
Ore Mountains
The forested ridges of the Erzgebirge which form the natural border between Germany and Czechia.
Danube River
Cross over the majestic blue Danube as the flight progresses through southern Bavaria.
Hohe Tauern
View the glaciated peaks of the high Austrian Alps, including the Großglockner area in the distance.
Adriatic Coast
On clear days, the shimmering Northern Adriatic Sea and the Po River Delta appear to the east during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the final approach, look ahead to spot the distant shimmer of the Adriatic Sea.
