MUCBLL

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Billund Airport (Billund)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft typically offers superior views of the major metropolitan area of Hamburg, the expansive Elbe River, and the transition toward the Baltic Sea coastline before entering Danish airspace.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌳

Thuringian Forest

Scenic views of the green mountain range in central Germany shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Hamburg Cityscape

A prime view of Germany's second-largest city, including the Alster lakes and the massive port.

🚢

Elbe Estuary

The wide, winding path of the Elbe River as it flows toward the North Sea.

🌉

Little Belt Bridges

The impressive infrastructure connecting mainland Jutland with the island of Funen.

🇩🇰

Kolding Fjord

The picturesque entrance to the Danish town of Kolding during the final approach phase.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Watch closely about 40 minutes into the flight for the descent over Hamburg; the port is easily identifiable. In winter, the snow-covered Harz mountains may be visible to the southeast.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
⛰️

Weser Uplands

Rolling hills and dense forests of the Weserbergland region in Lower Saxony.

🏙️

Bremen Overview

Distant views of the historic Hanseatic city located along the Weser river.

🌊

North Sea Coast

The glistening waters of the German Bight and the Wadden Sea visible on clear days.

🚜

Jutland Plains

The flat, patchwork agricultural landscape characteristic of the Danish interior.

Choose the left side for sunset views on evening flights. While the landscape is flatter, the light reflecting off the North Sea inlets during the descent into Billund can be stunning. Seats behind the wing are preferable for unobstructed ground views.
