Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most diverse scenery, including the sprawling Berlin cityscape, the stunning Masurian Lake District in Poland, and the iconic Trakai Island Castle during the approach to Vilnius.
Berlin Cityscape
Views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the dense urban layout of the German capital upon takeoff.
Masurian Lake District
A breathtaking landscape of over 2,000 lakes interconnected by rivers in northeastern Poland.
Trakai Island Castle
A stunning 14th-century red-brick fortress situated on an island in Lake Galvฤ, visible just before landing.
Vilnius Old Town
One of Northern Europe's largest surviving medieval towns with its distinct red-tiled roofs.
Kaunas Confluence
The meeting point of Lithuania's two largest rivers, the Nemunas and the Neris.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into VNO. Look out roughly 15 minutes before landing for the Masurian Lakes. Ensure you have your camera ready for the Trakai Castle, which is a rare and spectacular aerial sight when the flight path approaches from the west.
Usedom and Wolin Islands
The scenic border region where the Oder River flows into the Baltic Sea, featuring white sandy beaches.
Hel Peninsula
A unique, narrow 35km-long sandbar stretching out into the Bay of Gdaลsk.
Curonian Spit
A UNESCO-listed sand dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Port of Gdynia
One of the largest and most active maritime hubs on the Baltic coast.
Sit on the left if you prefer coastal views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, preventing glare on the window while you photograph the Baltic shoreline and the Curonian Spit.
