Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides iconic views of the Berlin city center immediately after takeoff and a direct line of sight to the historic city of Nuremberg during the cruise phase.
Berlin Mitte
Direct views of the Alexanderplatz TV Tower and the historic government district shortly after liftoff.
Thuringian Forest
A vast expanse of dense evergreen forests covering the rolling hills of central Germany.
Nuremberg
The medieval fortifications and urban sprawl of Bavaria's second-largest city are visible to the east.
Swabian Jura
The distinctive Albtrauf escarpment marks the approach into the Baden-Württemberg region.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the German landscape. If departing towards the west, the plane often banks left, providing a perfect panoramic view of the Berlin city center. In clear weather, the Swabian Jura plateau is highly visible during the final descent into Stuttgart.
Potsdam Palaces
Views of the Sanssouci Park and the extensive lake systems of the Havel river.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak often stands out above the clouds as the highest point in the region.
Main River Valley
Beautiful views of the zigzagging Main river and the steep vineyards of the Franconian wine region.
Neckar Valley
As the plane descends, the scenic valley and red-roofed villages of the Neckar region appear.
The right side is perfect for sunset flights, offering views of the sun dipping behind the Black Forest in the distance. Keep an eye out for the Harz mountains and the Brocken peak approximately 20 minutes after takeoff. The winding Main River near Würzburg is a key landmark for navigation.
