Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Zagreb Airport (Zagreb)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic section of the flight: the crossing of the High Alps and the rugged Julian Alps of Slovenia.
Prague Cityscape
The Vltava River and the historic bridges of the Czech capital often appear roughly 30 minutes into the flight.
Northern Limestone Alps
Spectacular views of the Dachstein Massif and the jagged peaks near the Berchtesgaden area.
Salzkammergut Lakes
The deep blue waters of the Austrian Alpine lakes, including Traunsee and Attersee, surrounded by sheer cliffs.
Triglav National Park
The majestic Julian Alps and Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, visible during the initial descent phase.
Medvednica Mountain
The forested mountain guarding Zagreb, featuring the Sljeme peak and the medieval fortress of Medvedgrad.
This is the definitive side for mountain enthusiasts. For the best views of the Alps, aim for a seat mid-cabin or behind the wing to ensure your view of the glaciers and lakes isn't obstructed. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun moves toward the west.
Berlin City Center
Aerial views of the Spree river and the Berlin TV Tower shortly after takeoff from the Tegel area.
Lusatian Lake District
A massive complex of artificial lakes created by flooding former open-cast lignite mines.
Historic Dresden
The 'Florence on the Elbe' is visible with its distinct baroque architecture and the winding Elbe river.
Styrian Vineyards
Rolling green hills and viticulture landscapes of southeastern Austria as you approach the Slovenian border.
Sit here on morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise over Eastern Europe. This side provides better views of the flatter, lake-rich landscapes of Brandenburg and Saxony. During the descent into Zagreb, you will see the eastern slopes of the Medvednica mountain range.
