KBP → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers dramatic views of the Carpathian and High Tatra mountain ranges and a southern perspective of the Bavarian Alps during the descent into Munich.
Podolian Upland
Expansive views of the fertile, rolling hills and agricultural patterns of Western Ukraine.
High Tatra Mountains
Stunning views of the highest range in the Carpathians, featuring jagged granite peaks along the Polish-Slovak border.
Slovakian Landscapes
Dense forests and mountain valleys as the plane traverses the heart of Central Europe.
Northern Limestone Alps
During the descent, look south for the majestic skyline of the Austrian and German Alps.
Munich Approach
Excellent views of the Isar River valley and the sprawling suburban landscapes of Upper Bavaria.
Book a window seat on the left for the best mountain photography. In the morning, the sun will be behind or above the plane, providing excellent lighting for the Carpathians. During winter, the snow-capped Tatras are a major highlight about 50 minutes after takeoff.
Lviv
A chance to see the historic city layout and central European architecture of Western Ukraine's cultural hub.
Krakow
Views of the winding Vistula River and the historic Polish city if the flight path tracks slightly north.
Brno
The industrial and administrative center of Moravia in the Czech Republic.
Bohemian Forest
Dark, dense forested areas crossing the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
MUC Terminal View
A clear view of the airport's distinctive architecture and runways when landing from the east.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It is better for passengers interested in city spotting and the dense forest landscapes of the Czech-German border. Keep your camera ready for the approach into Munich to see the airport layout.
