Which side of the plane to sit from Lviv International Airport (Lvov) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the High Tatras mountain range and the dramatic panorama of the Bavarian Alps during the final descent.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense forests and rolling peaks of Western Ukraine visible immediately after takeoff from Lviv.
High Tatras
The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, featuring jagged granite peaks along the Slovak-Polish border.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large freshwater lake is a major landmark during the descent into Munich.
Salzburg Area
On a clear day, the outskirts of Salzburg and the surrounding mountain foothills are visible to the south.
Alpine Panorama
A continuous view of the Northern Limestone Alps stretching along the southern horizon.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the mountains as the sun is behind you. During winter, the snow-covered Tatras are particularly striking.
Krakow
The historic Polish city may be visible to the north depending on the specific airway used.
Bohemian Forest
Expansive green landscapes and national parks along the Czech-German border region.
Allianz Arena
The glowing white 'inflatable' stadium, home to Bayern Munich, is often visible when landing from the east.
Munich City Center
A distant view of the city's towers and the Isar River as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.
The right side is better for spotting Munich's urban landmarks if the wind dictates an approach from the east. Be aware that afternoon sun can cause significant glare on this side when flying westward.
