Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides superior views of the Baltic coastline, including the historic cities of Tallinn and Riga, and the unique geographical formations of the Polish coast without the glare of the southern sun.
Search flights from LED to MUC
Gulf of Finland
Immediate views of the deep blue waters and shipping lanes leaving St. Petersburg.
Tallinn Coastline
A clear view of the Estonian capital's medieval towers and modern port infrastructure.
Gulf of Riga
The distinct curve of the Latvian coast and the mouth of the Daugava River.
Hel Peninsula
A remarkably thin, 35km long sandbar peninsula extending into the Bay of Puck in Poland.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the vast sprawl of the German capital is visible as the flight enters German airspace.
The right side is ideal for photography as it faces away from the sun. The most dramatic views occur in the first hour of the flight along the Baltic coast. Look for the Curonian Spit and Hel Peninsula—these are unique geographic 'needles' of land that are best viewed from cruising altitude.

Lake Peipus
One of the largest lakes in Europe, forming the natural border between Estonia and Russia.
Warsaw Skyline
A distant view of the Polish capital's dense urban center and growing skyscraper cluster.
Sudetes Mountains
The scenic mountain range along the border of Poland and the Czech Republic visible during the mid-flight.
The Alps
On the final approach into Munich, the northern edge of the Alps appears on the southern horizon.
Bavarian Farmland
The meticulously patterned green and yellow fields of southern Germany during the descent.
The left side faces south, meaning it will be very sunny for most of the flight. During morning flights, expect significant glare. However, keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of flight; if the approach is from the north, you might catch a glimpse of the distant Alps peak to the south.
