HAMFMM

Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer views of Germany's diverse landscape, the right side provides a superior approach experience featuring the world's tallest church spire in Ulm and a majestic panorama of the Alps as you descend into Memmingen.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Hannover Cityscape

Direct views of the 'Green Metropolis' and the Maschsee lake shortly after the initial climb from HAM.

⛰️

Rhön Mountains

Look for the Wasserkuppe peak, the birthplace of gliding, within this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in central Germany.

⛪

Ulm Minster

During the descent, spot the world's tallest church spire rising above the fog or city skyline of Ulm.

🏔️

The Alps Panorama

The grand finale: a breathtaking wall of snow-capped peaks stretching across the horizon during the final approach to FMM.

🏢

Würzburg

Aerial views of the Main river valley and the Fortress Marienberg are often visible during the mid-flight transition.

Sit on the right for the iconic 'Alpine wall' view. This side is particularly spectacular during sunset flights when the mountains glow in pink hues. Use the Ulm Minster as a landmark that you are approximately 10 minutes from landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Harz Mountains

The Brocken peak and the dense forests of northern Germany's highest range are clearly visible shortly after leaving Hamburg.

🏰

Nuremberg

On a typical easterly routing, the historic city layout and the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg can be spotted from cruise altitude.

🌊

Danube River

Witness the blue ribbon of the Danube as it winds through the Bavarian landscape between Ingolstadt and Donauwörth.

🚜

Bavarian Farmland

A patchwork quilt of meticulously maintained fields and small villages characteristic of the Altmühltal Nature Park.

Early morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the Harz mountains and Thuringian Forest. Keep an eye out for the distinct red-roofed architecture of medieval towns in Lower Saxony and Bavaria.
