Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the highest peaks of the Eastern Alps, including the snow-capped Julian Alps in Slovenia and the massive Hohe Tauern range in Austria.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Julian Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks in Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, visible about 30-40 minutes into the flight.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern Range

Home to the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, offering spectacular glacier views during the middle of the route.

💧

Lake Starnberg

A large, beautiful lake south of Munich visible during the final descent into the airport.

🏙️

Zagreb Skyline

The Croatian capital may be visible in the distance to the south as the plane crosses the border into Slovenia.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare while viewing the Alps. This side is superior for mountain photography as you pass closer to the main alpine ridge. Watch for the distinctive glacial valleys of Carinthia as you cross into Austria.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Salzburg

The historic city of Mozart and the Hohensalzburg Fortress can be spotted near the border of Austria and Germany.

🌊

Lake Chiemsee

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this massive lake features the famous Herrenchiemsee New Palace on its islands.

🏔️

Watzmann Massif

The iconic triple-peaked mountain of the Berchtesgaden Alps visible just before entering German airspace.

🏢

Munich City Center

Depending on the landing direction, you may see the Allianz Arena and the twin towers of the Frauenkirche.

The right side is excellent for evening flights as the setting sun illuminates the Bavarian lakes and the Salzburg basin. It offers a better view of the transition from the high mountains to the rolling Bavarian plains. If the flight lands from the east, you will have a perfect view of the airport's northern terminal.
