Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of views, starting with the German highlands, transitioning into the most dramatic sections of the Italian Dolomites, and concluding with a breathtaking aerial perspective of the Venice historic center and Grand Canal during the descent.

Potsdam & Lakes
Aerial view of the Sanssouci palaces and the sprawling lake systems southwest of Berlin.
Saxon Switzerland
Unique sandstone formations and deep gorges on the border between Germany and Czechia.
The Dolomites
Spectacular, close-up views of the jagged limestone peaks and pale-colored rock faces of Northern Italy.
Venice Historic Center
The 'money shot' featuring the fish-shaped main island, the Grand Canal, and St. Mark's Square just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the iconic view of Venice itself. When the plane approaches VCE (usually landing on Runway 04), it often performs a U-turn over the sea, placing the historic city center directly in view of the right-side windows. For the best photography of the Dolomites, choose an afternoon flight when the sun lights up the western faces of the peaks.

Dresden and Elbe Valley
Clear views of the 'Florence on the Elbe' and the winding river valley shortly after departure.
High Tauern Range
Dramatic vistas of Austria's highest peaks, including the snow-capped Grossglockner massif.
Northern Lagoon Islands
Vibrant views of Burano's colorful houses and the glass-making island of Murano during the final approach.
Adriatic Coastline
The sweeping curve of the Jesolo coastline and the transition from sea to the Venetian wetlands.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the colorful outer islands of the lagoon. Early morning flights are ideal as the sun rises behind you, illuminating the Alps and the lagoon without glare. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the High Tauern are particularly striking from this side.
