TXL → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering the highest probability of viewing the majestic Greenland ice sheets and the rugged wilderness of the Canadian Labrador coast.
Search flights from TXL to EWR
Greenland Ice Sheet
Breathtaking views of massive glaciers, deep fjords, and the vast white expanse of the Arctic ice cap.
Scottish Highlands
The rugged, green, and often misty terrain of Northern Scotland depending on the daily North Atlantic Track.
Labrador Coastline
The remote, rocky, and lake-filled wilderness of Eastern Canada, often featuring icebergs off the coast in spring.
Midtown Manhattan
If the aircraft circles from the north, the right side offers views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the Hudson River.
The right side is the 'Greenland side.' Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left (south) for most of the journey, meaning the right side has better lighting and less glare for photography of the Arctic landscapes. Check your flight path on the seatback screen to time your look for the Greenland coast about 4-5 hours into the flight.

Berlin Cityscape
Immediate views of Berlin's urban sprawl and the surrounding Brandenburg forests shortly after takeoff.
Southern North Sea
Aerial perspectives of busy shipping lanes and massive offshore wind farms off the coast of the Netherlands and UK.
Lower Manhattan
On many Newark approach patterns, the left side provides a stunning view of the Financial District and the Statue of Liberty.
Jersey Shore
Views of the New Jersey coastline and the Atlantic Highlands during the final descent into Newark.
Choose the left side if you are landing in the late afternoon to avoid direct sun glare. This side is also superior for spotting the Statue of Liberty if the plane approaches EWR from the south or east. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight.
