INNEIN

Which side of the plane to sit from Innsbruck Airport (Innsbruck) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the dramatic Karwendel mountain range immediately upon takeoff, followed by a panoramic transition over the Bavarian Alps towards the Rhine.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Karwendel Nature Park

Sheer limestone cliffs rising 2,000 meters directly above the flight path north of Innsbruck.

⛰️

Zugspitze

Germany's highest mountain is frequently visible to the west shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🌳

Allgäu Region

The quintessential green pastures and rolling hills of the German Alpine foothills.

🏰

Neuschwanstein Area

Distant views of the famous fairytale castles near Füssen depending on the specific flight corridor.

💧

Rhine River Bend

The silver ribbon of the Rhine as it snakes north through the industrial heart of Germany.

For the most dramatic experience, sit in the front third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction during the steep mountain departure. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the north-facing Alpine walls.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏘️

Innsbruck Old Town

A stunning overhead view of the Golden Roof and the colorful houses along the Inn River.

🌉

Europabrücke

The massive bridge of the Brenner motorway, one of the highest in Europe, visible to the south.

🌊

Lake Constance

The enormous 'Bodensee' marking the border between Austria, Switzerland, and Germany.

🏙️

Cologne Cathedral

The twin spires of the Kölner Dom are often visible as the flight approaches the Dutch border.

🌾

Dutch Lowlands

The transition to perfectly flat, canal-crossed landscapes as you descend into North Brabant.

If taking off towards the West (Runway 26), the right side offers a spectacular view of the city center during the initial turn. Keep your camera ready in the final 10 minutes for the geometric patterns of the Dutch fields.
