Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Zagros range, the Black Sea coastline, and the lush Bavarian landscape, typically avoiding the harsh glare of the southern sun during westbound daytime flights.

Zagros Mountains
Incredible folded rock formations and high plateaus stretching across Iran and Iraq.
Black Sea Coast
Beautiful views of the Turkish northern coastline and the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Danube River
Sightings of the iconic river as it winds through the plains of Romania and Hungary.
Bavarian Plains
The checkerboard of green fields and forests that define the German landscape.
Munich Approach
Often provides a clear view of the city's outskirts and the Allianz Arena depending on the wind direction.
The right side is ideal for photography on westbound flights as it faces north, away from the sun, providing soft, even lighting. During the winter, look for the contrast between the snowy Turkish highlands and the Black Sea. This side also typically offers the best view of Munich's surroundings during the final descent into MUC.

Vivid views of the Arabian Sea and the Backbay area immediately after departure from BOM.
Arabian Peninsula
Expansive vistas of the desert dunes and coastal silhouettes of the Middle East.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-dusted peaks in Southern Turkey.
Balkan Peninsula
Rugged mountain terrain and inland lakes across Southeastern Europe.
The Alps
A stunning perspective of the southern Alpine chain as the flight enters Central Europe.
On daytime flights, the left side will be south-facing, meaning direct sunlight for most of the journey. Keep your window shade down during the desert crossing to avoid heat, but open it over Turkey and the Alps. Perfect for sunset views if arriving in Munich during the evening.
