Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is generally superior for this route as it frequently offers a panoramic view of the Berlin metropolitan area and the distinctive peaks of the Harz Mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
πŸ–οΈ

Pomeranian Coastline

Depending on the specific flight corridor, the distant blue of the Baltic Sea and the Vistula Lagoon may be visible.

πŸ™οΈ

Berlin Cityscape

A major highlight where the TV Tower and the vast urban sprawl of the German capital can be identified to the north.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak which is often shrouded in mist.

🏭

Leipzig/Halle Hub

A clear view of the massive logistics infrastructure and the unique aircraft taxiway bridges over the motorway.

The right side is ideal for spotting major urban landmarks. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to get an unobstructed view of Berlin, which typically appears about an hour into the flight. In autumn, the Harz mountains provide a beautiful tapestry of changing leaf colors.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Mazurian Lake District

Stunning aerial views of thousands of post-glacial lakes in northeastern Poland shortly after crossing the border.

🏘️

WrocΕ‚aw Panorama

The historic 'City of Bridges' on the Oder River is often visible to the south mid-flight.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

A continuous belt of dense green hills and deep valleys as the flight traverses central Germany.

🏒

Mainhattan Skyline

On certain approach paths to Frankfurt, the left side provides a direct view of the financial district's skyscrapers.

Choose the left side for morning departures to minimize solar glare. It offers the most consistent views of the lush Polish and German countryside. During the winter, the frozen lakes of Mazury are a specific highlight to watch for in the first 30 minutes.
