TXL → GDN
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers continuous views of the stunning Baltic Sea coastline, including the unique islands of Usedom and Wolin and the expansive Szczecin Lagoon.
North Berlin Outskirts
Clear views of the northern Brandenburg forests and suburban Berlin shortly after takeoff from TXL.
Szczecin Lagoon
The massive expanse of the Zalew Szczeciński where the Oder River meets the Baltic Sea.
Usedom and Wolin Islands
The distinctive shapes of these border islands with their white sandy beaches and seaside resorts.
Pomeranian Coastline
A long, picturesque stretch of the Baltic Sea shore featuring coastal cliffs and sandbars.
Słowiński National Park
On clear days, the massive moving sand dunes near Łeba are visible as bright white patches against the sea.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Baltic Sea. In winter, the lagoon often freezes, creating a striking white geographic pattern visible from high altitudes.
Lower Oder Valley
A scenic landscape of wetlands and river branches forming the natural border between Germany and Poland.
Drawsko Lake District
A mosaic of hundreds of post-glacial lakes surrounded by dense forest in West Pomerania.
Kashubian Switzerland
The hilly and lake-rich region of Kashubia, providing lush green views just before the descent into Gdańsk.
Gdańsk Metropolitan Area
Detailed views of the suburban expansion and the Trójmiasto Landscape Park during the final approach.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the many lakes of the Kashubian region. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Szczecin which often appears shortly after crossing the border.
