Which side of the plane to sit from Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a classic view of Münster after takeoff and an unmatched panoramic view of the Bavarian Alps on approach to Munich.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛪

Münster Skyline

A beautiful view of the historic city center, cathedral, and the Aasee lake shortly after takeoff.

🎿

Sauerland Highlands

Rolling hills of the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains' including views toward Winterberg.

🍇

Main River Valley

The winding Main river and the famous steep vineyard slopes surrounding the city of Würzburg.

🏔️

Bavarian Alps

A magnificent southern horizon featuring the snow-capped Alpine chain during the descent into Munich.

The absolute best choice for afternoon or evening flights. The Alpine panorama on the approach to Munich is spectacular during the golden hour. Try to sit well ahead or behind the wing for the best photography angles of the Würzburg river loops.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Teutoburg Forest

Long, forested ridges stretching southeast from the Münster region shortly after departure.

⛰️

Rhön Biosphere

The distinct volcanic peaks of the Wasserkuppe area visible in the central German highlands.

🏘️

Bamberg

The historic UNESCO World Heritage city visible near the junction of the Regnitz and Main rivers.

💧

Danube River

A clear crossing of Europe's second-longest river as the flight nears the Ingolstadt region.

Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the geometric patterns of the Danube river near Ingolstadt and the dense green canopy of the Hessian forests.
