Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular and continuous panorama of the Alps and Lake Constance, making it significantly more scenic for this short trans-southern Germany hop.
Alpine Skyline
An uninterrupted panoramic view of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps throughout the flight.
Lake Constance
The massive expanse of the 'Bodensee' is a major highlight, often passing directly to the south of the flight path.
The Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak is clearly visible on the horizon, especially prominent during the mid-section of the flight.
Ammersee & Starnberger See
Two of Bavaria's most beautiful large lakes are visible just south of Munich during the initial descent phase.
Lindau Island
If the route is southerly, you can spot the picturesque historic island town on the eastern edge of Lake Constance.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Alpine Glow' during winter morning flights. Request a seat toward the rear of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't obstruct your view of Lake Constance. Be aware that during mid-day, the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare on the window.
Northern Black Forest
Dense pine forests and rolling green valleys of the Schwarzwald region shortly after takeoff.
Hohenzollern Castle
On clear days, look for the iconic hilltop castle rising above the Swabian Jura landscape to the north.
Ulm Minster
The world's tallest church spire is often visible as the plane passes over the Danube region.
Allianz Arena
During the final approach into Munich, the glowing white stadium is a prominent landmark on the northern edge of the city.
Munich City Center
A sweeping view of the city's red-roofed center and the Frauenkirche towers during descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer cityscapes over nature. It is best during late afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Munich skyline and the Swabian Jura perfectly without glare. If the flight lands towards the west, you will get a great look at the airport infrastructure.
