KRR β MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Carpathian mountain arc, the sprawling layout of Budapest, and a more scenic descent past Salzburg and the Austrian-German border.
Carpathian Mountains
The majestic Transylvanian Alps with their dense forests and high altitude peaks.
Budapest
A perfect aerial view of the Hungarian capital divided by the winding Danube River.
Danube Bend
The scenic 'U-turn' the Danube river makes near VisegrΓ‘d, Hungary.
Salzburg
The historic city and Hohensalzburg Fortress visible during the initial descent phase.
Munich Suburbs
Clear views of the northern Bavarian landscape and the Isar river valley on final approach.
The right side is ideal for landmark spotting; try to identify the Parliament building in Budapest. For the best lighting, morning flights illuminate the Carpathians beautifully. During landing, this side often catches a glimpse of the Allianz Arena if the plane approaches from the east.
Black Sea Coast
Dramatic views of the western coastline along Bulgaria and Romania.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged ridges of the Stara Planina range stretching across Bulgaria.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily identifiable by its distinct turquoise color.
Hohe Tauern
Distant views of the highest peaks in the Austrian Alps to the south.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this lake is a major landmark during the descent into Munich.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to experience the 'Alpenglow' on the southern peaks. This side also provides a clearer view of the Mediterranean-like coastline of the Black Sea early in the flight. In winter, the frozen surface of Lake Balaton is a unique sight.
