Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Berlin skyline shortly after departure and provides a more dramatic perspective of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Prague city center during the descent.
Berlin City Center
Clear views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the dense urban landscape of central Berlin shortly after takeoff from the Tegel area.
Spreewald Biosphere
The intricate network of canals and lush green forests of the Spreewald region southeast of Berlin.
Elbe Sandstone Mountains
Dramatic rock formations and deep canyons of Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland near the German-Czech border.
Mělník Confluence
The scenic meeting point where the Vltava river flows into the Elbe, marked by a historic chateau on the hill.
Prague Old Town
If landing from the north, views of the Vltava river, the Charles Bridge, and the historic red roofs of the city center.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the iconic landmarks of both capitals. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Saxon Switzerland mountains and the Prague skyline. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the mountain views.
Potsdam Palaces
Aerial views of the Havel river and the historic gardens of Sanssouci Palace shortly after departure.
Ore Mountains
The long, forested ridges of the Erzgebirge range which form the natural border between Saxony and Bohemia.
Bohemian Central Highlands
Distinctive volcanic peaks and rolling hills that characterize the landscape of Northern Bohemia.
Kladno & PRG Approach
Views of the industrial heritage of Kladno and the flat plains west of Prague during the final descent.
The right side is excellent for viewing the architectural layout of Potsdam. For afternoon flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which is great for seeing the textures of the Ore Mountains but can be bright. Watch for the 'Milešovka' mountain, the highest peak of the Central Bohemian Uplands.
