Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Friedrichshafen Airport (Friedrichshafen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct and expansive view of the Alpine range during the descent, along with a better angle of the Berlin city center upon departure.
Berlin City Center
Aerial views of the TV Tower (Fernsehturm) and the Spree river immediately after takeoff from the northern runway.
Leipzig Urban Area
Clear visibility of the Völkerschlachtdenkmal and the dense urban layout of Saxony's largest city.
Nuremberg Old Town
The historic Imperial Castle and the red-roofed medieval center are often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Danube River
The winding path of the Danube near Ingolstadt, showcasing one of Europe's most vital waterways.
The Northern Alps
A stunning panoramic view of the Allgäu and Austrian Alps rising sharply as the plane approaches Lake Constance.
Bregenz Bay
The eastern tip of Lake Constance, where the Rhine enters the lake near the Austrian border.
Book an early morning flight to see the sun rising over the Alps as you approach the destination. During the descent, keep your eyes on the horizon to spot the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, which is visible in high-clarity conditions.
Potsdam Palaces
View of the sprawling Sanssouci Park and its historic palace complexes shortly after leaving the Berlin airspace.
Thuringian Forest
Vast stretches of dense evergreen forests and the rolling hills of the Rennsteig region.
Ulm Minster
Look for the world's tallest church steeple piercing the skyline as you pass the city of Ulm.
Mainau Island
The 'Flower Island' of Lake Constance, recognizable by its botanical gardens and baroque palace.
Constance City
Views of the German-Swiss border city and the 'Imperia' statue at the harbor entrance.
Zeppelin Hangar
The massive construction hangar for the Zeppelin NT airships located directly adjacent to Friedrichshafen Airport.
Choose the right side for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Black Forest in the distance. This side is also superior for viewing the specific lakeside architecture of Constance and the volcanic Hegau peaks during the final approach pattern.
