Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Klagenfurt Airport (Klagenfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the High Alps, including the iconic Grossglockner and the Salzkammergut lake region, which are the highlights of the journey south.
Three-River City Passau
Spot the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers as you cross from Germany into Austrian airspace.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Spectacular views of Lake Attersee and Lake Wolfgangsee surrounded by the rising limestone peaks.
Dachstein Massif
The imposing glacier-capped peak of the Dachstein is a prominent landmark on the right during the descent.
Grossglockner View
On clear days, the highest mountain in Austria can be seen in the distance towards the southwest.
Karawank Mountains
As the plane banks for the final approach, the rugged mountain range separating Austria from Slovenia dominates the horizon.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic alpine scenery. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to your side, illuminating the limestone peaks of the Northern Calcareous Alps perfectly. Seasonal note: Winter flights provide stunning views of snow-covered ski resorts in the Hohe Tauern range.
Berlin Spree Valley
Initial climb out of Tegel provides views of the winding Spree river and the dense urban landscape of the German capital.
Saxon Switzerland
Look out for the distinctive Elbe Sandstone Mountains with their jagged rock formations near the border with the Czech Republic.
Bohemian Forest
Expansive views of the dense, dark forests along the border between Bavaria and the Czech Republic.
Lake Wörthersee
On final approach into Klagenfurt, the turquoise waters of Austria's most famous swimming lake are visible directly below.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep an eye out for the Styrian Alps during the mid-flight descent. While less dramatic than the west, it offers a smoother transition into the Klagenfurt basin.
