Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Madrid to Berlin. The right side captures the Sierra de Guadarrama during departure and provides views of the Pyrenees foothills and French landscape during cruise, while the left side's landing views, though excellent, represent only the final descent. Right offers more sustained scenic interest across the flight.

During takeoff from Barajas (MAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Madrid's urban sprawl and the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains to the northeast as the aircraft climbs northward. The left side faces south toward open plains with less visual interest during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Sierra de Guadarrama (snow-capped peaks visible on clear days), Madrid city grid and Retiro Park, Tagus River valley, suburban sprawl extending north toward Alcalá de Henares.

When landing at Tempelhof (THF), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Tempelhof, showing the Spree River, Landwehr Canal, and Berlin's historic city center including the Tiergarten park and government district. The right side faces less distinctive suburban areas. Notable sights include: Spree River with its distinctive loops through central Berlin, Landwehr Canal, Tiergarten (large green rectangle), Brandenburg Gate and government district, Müggelsee lake to the southeast.
