Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Klagenfurt Airport (Klagenfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including the Port of Hamburg, the city of Munich, and a spectacular approach over Lake Wörthersee.
Port of Hamburg
Views of the massive container terminals and the Airbus factory at Finkenwerder.
Munich & Allianz Arena
The futuristic stadium and the sprawling Bavarian capital are often visible from cruise altitude.
Lake Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' featuring its famous islands, Herreninsel and Fraueninsel.
Northern Limestone Alps
Rugged, jagged rock formations as the plane enters Austrian airspace.
Wörthersee
The stunning turquoise waters of Austria's most famous lake right before landing.
The right side is essential for the approach into Klagenfurt, as the descent typically follows the length of the Wörthersee. Sitting behind the wing ensures the engine doesn't block the view of Munich's skyline.
Alster Lakes
A clear view of the Outer Alster lake and Hamburg's city hall upon departure.
Harz National Park
The Brocken peak and dense forests of central Germany's highest range.
Salzburg Panorama
Distant views of the Hohensalzburg Fortress and the Salzach River valley.
Hohe Tauern
Glaciated peaks including the Grossglockner massif visible during the Alpine crossing.
Klagenfurt City
A detailed look at the historic old town and Dragon Fountain during final approach.
Choose the left side for better views of the high Alpine glaciers. Morning flights provide excellent soft lighting for photos of the Hohe Tauern range without harsh glare.
