Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the Baltic straits to the German heartland, featuring the winding Elbe river, the Harz mountains, and a clear view of the Alpine foothills during the descent.
Kattegat Strait
The sparkling maritime passage between the Swedish coast and the Danish mainland.
Hamburg & Elbe River
The massive port infrastructure and the winding path of the Elbe through Northern Germany.
Harz Mountains
The prominent Brocken peak rising above the surrounding plains of Lower Saxony.
Danube River
The historic blue river passing through Ingolstadt as you begin the final descent.
Bavarian Alpine Vista
A wide-angle view of the snow-capped Alps forming a massive wall south of Munich.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you or to the west. On approach to Munich, the right side typically offers a more panoramic view of the Bavarian countryside and the nearing mountain range.
Swedish Halland Coast
Granite coastlines and scattered islands south of Gothenburg as the plane reaches cruising altitude.
Øresund Region
A distant view of the bridge connecting Malmö and Copenhagen across the blue waters.
Cliffs of Møn
The striking white chalk cliffs on the eastern edge of Denmark's coastline.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green forested ridges of the Central German Uplands stretching toward the horizon.
Leipzig Skyline
A clear view of the city's historic center and industrial outskirts in East Germany.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. Watch for the dramatic white cliffs of Denmark early in the flight; they are a highlight of the Baltic crossing.
