DME → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual experience, especially during the final third of the flight, featuring the dramatic silhouettes of the Tatra Mountains and a stunning panorama of the Bavarian Alps and Alpine lakes upon the descent into Munich.
Moscow Forest Belt
Dense green woodlands and traditional Russian dacha settlements immediately following departure from DME.
High Tatra Mountains
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian range visible to the south while cruising over Poland and Slovakia.
Danube River
The winding blue curves of Central Europe's longest river as the flight path nears the Austrian-German border.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake is often clearly visible on the southern approach path.
Bavarian Alpine Chain
A breathtaking panoramic view of the northern edge of the Alps during the initial descent phase.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps. For winter flights, the morning sun illuminates the snow-capped Tatras beautifully. On the final approach into MUC from the east, the left side typically offers the best view of the regional lakes.
Minsk Skyline
The orderly grid and Soviet-era architecture of the Belarusian capital can often be spotted to the north.
Vistula River
The major waterway of Poland cutting through the landscape near Warsaw.
Prague Cityscape
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is frequently visible in the distance when crossing the Czech Republic.
Bohemian Forest
Vast, dark evergreen forests marking the natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Allianz Arena
Munich's iconic illuminated football stadium is a landmark often seen on the final approach into the airport.
The right side is excellent for spotting major European cities. If the flight lands towards the west (Runway 26L/R), the right side provides a great view of the airport infrastructure and the Allianz Arena. Mid-day flights offer the most consistent lighting for these northern views.
