MAH β MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panorama of the French Riviera, the high Swiss Alps including glimpses of famous peaks, and a beautiful approach over Lake Constance into the heart of Bavaria.
Menorca Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise bays and rugged northern cliffs of Menorca shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the flight crosses towards the European mainland.
French Riviera
Spectacular aerial views of the CΓ΄te d'Azur, often including the glittering cities of Nice and Monaco.
Swiss Alps
Dazzling snow-capped peaks of the High Alps, with the potential to spot the Eiger and Jungfrau in the distance.
Lake Constance
A full view of the massive Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct southern glare. Look out about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the French coastline. On descent, watch for the sprawling Bavarian landscapes and the Isar River snaking through the countryside.
Corsica & Elba
On clear days, the rugged mountain ridges of Corsica and the island of Elba may be visible on the horizon.
Ligurian Coast
Views of the Italian coastline around Genoa and the dramatic cliffs of the Cinque Terre region.
The Dolomites
Sharp, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian Alps, known for their unique geological formations.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large lake with its prominent islands is often visible during the final descent.
Bavarian Foothills
Lush green rolling hills and traditional villages that characterize the approach into Munich.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the distinctive sharp peaks of the Dolomites roughly 20 minutes before landing. Choose a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine valleys.
