Which side of the plane to sit from Jerez Airport (Jerez) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for Spain's major landmarks including Seville and Madrid, followed by a direct view of the high Pyrenees and the picturesque Rhine Valley during the descent into Germany.
Seville Skyline
Located just north of Jerez, you will get an excellent aerial view of the Giralda tower and the massive Cathedral shortly after departure.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
The flight path typically passes just east of the Spanish capital, offering views of the Cuatro Torres skyscrapers and the urban sprawl.
Central Pyrenees
A major highlight featuring the highest peaks of the range, often snow-capped even in late spring, as you cross into France.
Loire Valley
Look down for the winding Loire River and the famous Renaissance chateaux scattered throughout the French countryside.
Rhine River Gorge
As you enter German airspace, the right side provides views of the steep-sided Rhine valley, famous for its vineyards and hilltop castles.
Berlin City Center
Depending on the landing direction at Schönefeld, the right side often provides a stunning view of the TV Tower and the city's historic center.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best views of the Pyrenees, aim for a window seat between the wing and the tail to avoid engine glare. During late afternoon flights, be prepared for some direct sunlight until the plane turns toward Berlin.
Doñana National Park
Visible shortly after takeoff, these wetlands are one of Europe's most important nature reserves near the Atlantic coast.
Extremadura Plains
The vast, golden plains of western Spain offer a patchwork of agricultural land and dehesa oak forests.
Paris Outer Rim
On clear days, the western outskirts of the French capital and the winding Seine River can be spotted in the distance.
North German Plain
The final leg showcases the flat, green agricultural heartland of Germany, dotted with wind turbines and small villages.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as you will be facing away from the direct sun. This side is also preferable for catching glimpses of the Atlantic coastline of France if the flight path is pushed westward by weather.
