MUC → CLJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Cluj-Napoca International Airport (Cluj-napoca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is clearly superior for this route, providing a front-row seat to the northern edge of the Alps and the stunning Salzkammergut lake region of Austria.
Bavarian Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged peaks of the northern Alps shortly after leaving Munich.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake and its islands are a prominent landmark on the right.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Stunning alpine lakes like Mondsee and Attersee nestled within the Austrian mountains.
Vienna Panorama
A sweeping view of the Austrian capital and the Vienna Woods halfway through the flight.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, golden agricultural plains of Hungary stretching toward the southern horizon.
Apuseni Mountains
Rugged limestone formations and deep valleys as the plane enters the heart of Transylvania.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps. In winter, the snow-covered Austrian peaks are breathtaking. For evening flights, you may witness a beautiful sunset over the mountains as you approach the Romanian border.
Munich Cityscape
Aerial views of the Allianz Arena and the northern suburbs of Munich shortly after departure.
The Danube River
Multiple opportunities to spot the winding Donau as it flows through Bavaria and into Austria.
Bratislava & Slovakia
Distant views of the Slovakian capital and the Little Carpathians to the north as you cross the Hungarian border.
Northern Apuseni
The lush, rolling green hills of the northern Apuseni mountain range as you enter Romanian airspace.
Cluj-Napoca Suburbs
A close-up view of the expanding northern residential areas of Cluj during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is better for spotting the winding path of the Danube. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Allianz Arena if the flight departs towards the east.
