On the approach to the elevated runway, the left side provides a clear vantage point of the Saar River valley and the urban landscape of the state capital.
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Western Alps and the transition from the Mediterranean coastline to the rugged European interior.
The right side offers a superior panorama of Berlin's lake district, the distant peaks of the Harz Mountains, and a spectacular crossing of the Rhine River near Mainz.
The left side provides a superior view of the iconic Saarschleife (Saar Loop) and the lush, terraced vineyards of the Moselle and Saar valleys.
The right side is slightly favored for its spectacular views of the winding Moselle River and the industrial scale of the Hamburg Port during departure, offering a more dramatic perspective of the Western German landscape.
