Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Ancona Falconara Airport (Ancona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the most dramatic limestone formations of the Dolomites and the stunning lakes of Southern Bavaria.
Lake Starnberg
A massive glacial lake just south of Munich, often reflecting the morning sky during the initial climb.
The Dolomites
Unrivaled views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Sella Group, Marmolada, and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Po Valley
The vast, geometric patchwork of Italy's agricultural heartland and the winding path of the Po River.
Mount Titano
The three distinctive towers of San Marino perched atop a dramatic limestone ridge near the coast.
Rimini Riviera
The endless sandy beaches and orderly rows of umbrellas stretching along the Romagna coastline.
The Dolomites appear roughly 20-25 minutes after takeoff; have your camera ready as this is the flight's peak scenic moment. In the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so polarized sunglasses are recommended to reduce glare from the white limestone peaks.
Bavarian Foothills
Dense forests and traditional villages transition into the rising terrain of the Austrian border.
Grossglockner Views
Distant views of Austria's highest peak and the glaciated ridges of the High Tauern range.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the intricate network of islands and the distinct shape of Venice are visible to the east.
Adriatic Horizon
The deep blue expanse of the Adriatic Sea opening up as the flight moves south toward the Marche region.
Ancona Port
Aerial view of the historic harbor, Trajan's Arch, and the Cathedral of San Ciriaco during the final descent.
Sit here for the best views of the coastline during the final approach into Falconara. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the sea without sun glare. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the Venetian Lagoon.
