TXL → FMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views of the German heartland, the left side is superior for its dramatic panoramic approach toward the Alps and early views of the Berlin city center and the Spreewald region.
Berlin Urban Core
Excellent views of the TV Tower, Reichstag, and the dense urban landscape of central Berlin shortly after takeoff.
Spreewald Biosphere
A unique network of hundreds of small waterways and lush green forests south of the capital.
Franconian Switzerland
Dramatic limestone formations, deep valleys, and medieval castles dotting the landscape of Northern Bavaria.
The Danube River
A prominent crossing of Europe's second-longest river as the flight enters the Swabian-Bavarian plateau.
Northern Alpine Chain
On clear days, the entire horizon is dominated by the snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and German Alps during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. The 'Alpenglühen' or alpine glow is spectacular on the left side during winter sunset arrivals. Look out for the Munich skyline in the far distance during mid-flight.
Potsdam Palaces
Clear views of Sanssouci Park and the surrounding Havel lakes shortly after departing the Berlin area.
Thuringian Forest
Flying over the dense, rolling green ridges of the 'Green Heart of Germany' midway through the route.
Nuremberg Skyline
Spot the historic imperial castle and the modern city layout of Franconia's largest metropolis.
Franconian Lake District
The sparkling blue waters of the Brombachsee and Altmühlsee provide a sharp contrast to the surrounding forests.
Lake Constance Glimpse
In the final stages of the flight, the massive Bodensee is often visible on the horizon to the southwest.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side offers better views of the historic Thuringian ridges. During the descent into FMM, keep an eye out for the characteristic 'Basilika' of Ottobeuren near the airport.
