BRS → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience, particularly during the second half of the flight. As the aircraft progresses southeast toward Bavaria, passengers are treated to expansive views of the English Channel and the rolling Ardennes, culminating in a spectacular distant panorama of the Northern Alps as the plane begins its descent into Munich.

The English Channel
Views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern English coast.
The Ardennes
The dense, undulating forest canopy spanning across Belgium, Luxembourg, and into Germany.
Black Forest Fringe
To the far south, the dark, elevated landscape of the Schwarzwald is often visible in the distance.
The Alpine Panorama
The star attraction; a stunning horizon of snow-capped peaks visible to the south during the approach to Munich.
Stuttgart
A bird's eye view of the city nestled in the Neckar Valley, surrounded by vineyards and hills.
Allianz Arena
If the flight path vectors from the south, the iconic glowing white stadium of FC Bayern Munich is a landmark highlight.
Choose the right side specifically for the 'Alpine glow' during morning or late afternoon flights. The mountain range remains visible for the final 20 minutes of the flight. For the best photos of the Alps, aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the horizon. During spring, the contrast between the green Bavarian fields and the white mountain peaks is exceptional.
