Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of Berlin's urban core upon departure, followed by the rolling elevations of the Harz and Sauerland regions before entering the Netherlands.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Berlin Center

Stunning views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and the Spree river immediately after a westward takeoff.

🌲

Harz Mountains

The Brocken peak, the highest in Northern Germany, is visible to the south during the mid-flight segment.

⛰️

Sauerland Hills

Lush, rolling forested hills of the Rothaargebirge range as the flight traverses North Rhine-Westphalia.

🏭

Ruhr Metropolis

A massive urban sprawl showcasing the industrial heartland of Germany including Dortmund and Essen.

Choose the left side for the best chance to see Berlin's landmarks during departure. Late afternoon flights are ideal to avoid sun glare, providing clear views of the industrial Ruhr area landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Potsdam Palaces

Bird's-eye view of Sanssouci Park and the interconnected lakes of the Havel river system.

🚗

Wolfsburg Autostadt

The massive Volkswagen factory complex and the distinctive cooling towers are visible near the Mittelland Canal.

🌳

Teutoburg Forest

A long, narrow ridge of forested hills that stands out sharply against the surrounding flat Münsterland.

🌊

Lower Rhine

The wide, winding Rhine River creates a silver ribbon through the landscape as you approach the Dutch border.

The right side is excellent for spotting the lake districts of Brandenburg early in the flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Rhine river crossing before the descent into Eindhoven.
