TXL → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is slightly preferred as it often provides a better angle for viewing the Masurian Lake District and the distant Moscow city skyline during the standard approach patterns into Domodedovo.

Berlin Cityscape
Panoramic views of the TV Tower and the Spree River immediately following takeoff from the Tegel area.
Oder River
The natural border between Germany and Poland, visible as a winding silver ribbon through the plains.
Masurian Lake District
A stunning collection of over 2,000 glacial lakes in northeastern Poland, shimmering during clear daylight.
Minsk Skyline
Distal views of the Belarusian capital, identifiable by its circular National Library and Soviet-era urban planning.
Moscow City (MIBC)
On clear days during the descent, the cluster of modern skyscrapers in Moscow's financial district is visible to the north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the dense Russian forests and the massive urban sprawl of Moscow.

Domodedovo Forest Belt
The thick 'Green Ring' of protected forests that surrounds the southern approach to Moscow's airports.
The right side offers the best view of Warsaw's city center if the flight path stays slightly north of the city. In winter, this side showcases the 'frozen mosaic' effect of the vast Belarusian and Russian farmland.
