TXL โ BRN
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Bern Belp Airport (Bern)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Berlin skyline upon departure and provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Bernese Alps as the aircraft descends into Switzerland.
Berlin City Center
Clear views of the Berlin TV Tower, Reichstag, and the Spree river immediately after departure.
Thuringian Forest
Overlooking the dense, rolling green ridges of central Germany's major forest range.
Bernese Oberland
Spectacular sightings of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks on the southern horizon.
Lake Lucerne
Distant views of the winding turquoise waters of Central Switzerland during the descent phase.
Lake Thun
A stunning deep blue lake framed by mountains as the plane maneuvers for final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing, as the Swiss Alps appear suddenly and provide the most iconic photo opportunities of the trip. In winter, the contrast of the snow-capped peaks against the valley is particularly vivid.
Potsdam Palaces
Aerial perspective of Sanssouci Park and the historic palaces of the Prussian kings.
Black Forest
The dark, evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald visible to the southwest during mid-flight.
Jura Mountains
Distinctive limestone ridges and folded mountain structures along the French-Swiss border.
Bern Old Town
A perfect view of the Aare River loop and the medieval UNESCO World Heritage site on final approach.
Bern-Belp Valley
Detailed views of the Swiss countryside and small villages surrounding the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, offering warm lighting over the Jura Mountains. If the flight approaches from the north, the right side gives an unparalleled view of the Aare river circling Bern's historic center. Look out for the 'Brocken' peak in the Harz Mountains in the distance during the first half of the flight.
