Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience due to the direct aerial view of Venice's historic center immediately after takeoff, followed by a spectacular traverse over the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps.
Search flights from VCE to SXF
Venice Historic Center
An iconic view of the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square, and the entire fish-shaped island shortly after departure.
Grossglockner Range
Views of Austria's highest peak and the sprawling Pasterze Glacier within the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Salzburg Alpine Edge
The dramatic transition where the high Alps meet the flatter plains of the Salzkammergut region.
Elbe Sandstone Mountains
The unique 'Bastei' rock formations and the winding Elbe river near the German-Czech border.
Berlin Skyline
Clear views of the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and the Berlin city center during the final approach pattern.
The right side is a must for the 'Venice from above' shot; sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the city view. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Austrian Alps on this side.

Venetian Lagoon
Aerial perspective of the turquoise waters and the intricate network of islands north of the city.
The Dolomites
Breathtaking views of the jagged limestone peaks, including the Marmolada and Sella massifs.
Munich & Bavaria
Views of the rolling Bavarian countryside and the urban sprawl of Munich depending on the specific airway.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green canopy views as the aircraft begins its initial descent into the Brandenburg region.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding in winter when the snow-covered peaks of the Dolomites create a high-contrast landscape perfect for photography.
