CLJ → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Cluj-Napoca International Airport (Cluj-napoca) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers a panoramic view of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps during the final approach, alongside the turquoise lakes of the Salzkammergut region.

Apuseni Mountains
Dramatic limestone landscapes and deep valleys of the Western Carpathians immediately after takeoff from Cluj.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, visible as a long turquoise ribbon south of the flight path over Hungary.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Aerial views of Attersee, Traunsee, and Mondsee nestled among the Austrian foothills.
Dachstein Massif
The glaciated peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps dominate the horizon to the south.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this massive lake is often visible during the descent into Munich.
Sit in the rear of the aircraft (rows 20+) to ensure the wing does not block the Alpine horizon. On morning flights, the sun will be behind or to the left, providing excellent lighting for photos of the mountain ranges. In winter, the snow-capped peaks are particularly striking.

Budapest Cityscape
On many flight paths, the northern districts of Budapest and the Parliament building are visible to the north.
The Danube Bend
The scenic 'U-turn' of the Danube River north of Budapest near Visegrád.
Linz and the Danube
A clear view of the winding river as it flows through the industrial and cultural heart of Upper Austria.
Hallertau Hop Fields
Unique geometric patterns of the world's largest continuous hop-growing region during the final descent.
Munich Airport View
A great perspective of the airport terminals and runways if landing from the east.
The right side (F seats) is best for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the urban landscapes and the winding Danube River. During the summer, look for the vibrant green hop fields just north of the airport.
