Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred as it typically offers a direct view of Berlin's urban landscape and the stunning Masurian Lake District while avoiding the harsh direct sunlight of the southern sky.

Rhine-Ruhr Region

Dense urban sprawl and industrial infrastructure as the plane crosses the Rhine.

Liรจge City

The winding Meuse River and the steep hills of the 'Ardent City' in eastern Belgium.

Sit approximately 3-5 rows behind the wing to ensure your view of Berlin isn't blocked by the engine. The city usually appears roughly 60 to 70 minutes into the flight. This side is also best for winter flights to catch the 'blue hour' lighting over the German plains.
