MUC → BRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the premier choice for this route, providing an iconic view of the London skyline and the Severn Estuary while benefiting from northern lighting that minimizes sun glare for photography.
Frankfurt/Main
Look north to spot the high-rise financial district and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs.
Brussels Cityscape
The plane often passes close enough to see the urban sprawl and landmarks of the Belgian capital.
Greater London
As the route enters UK airspace, the right side offers a magnificent panorama of the Thames and London's skyscrapers.
Severn Bridges
During the final approach, capture the engineering marvels of the M4 and M48 bridges crossing into Wales.
Seat on the right (usually 'F' seats) to maximize your chances of seeing London; the flight path typically stays south of the city. This side also provides the most dramatic views of the Welsh border and the Severn Estuary during the landing sequence at Bristol.
Black Forest
Early in the flight, observe the dense evergreen landscapes of southwestern Germany.
Picardy Region
Enjoy the distinct circular patterns and agricultural patchwork of northern France.
Isle of Wight
On a clear day, the southern tip of England and the Solent are visible in the distance.
Mendip Hills
The flight descends over the limestone ridges and the famous Cheddar Gorge area.
Opt for the left side on early morning departures to see the sunrise over the Bavarian landscape. However, be prepared for intense sun glare throughout the cruise phase of this westward journey.
