MUC → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure from Munich with direct views of the Bavarian Alps and Lake Chiemsee, followed by distant views of the High Tatras and a better angle for the Moscow skyline on approach.
Bavarian Alps
Incredible panoramic views of the northern Alpine range immediately after takeoff from MUC.
Lake Chiemsee
The largest lake in Bavaria, known as the 'Bavarian Sea', visible with its central islands.
High Tatras
The jagged peaks of the highest range in the Carpathian Mountains visible on the southern horizon.
Central European Plains
The intricate mosaic of agricultural fields across Poland and Belarus creates a colorful patchwork.
Moscow City Heights
On the descent into DME, look for the distant Seven Sisters and the modern Federation Tower complex.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers; sit here to see the Alps right after takeoff. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun illuminate the mountains. On approach to Domodedovo, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Moscow megalopolis as the plane turns for alignment.
Allianz Arena
Spot the iconic glowing white stadium of FC Bayern Munich shortly after departure.
Prague Basin
Distant views of the Vltava River and the historical sprawling capital of the Czech Republic.
Warsaw Skyline
Clear views of the Vistula River and the modern skyscraper cluster of central Poland.
Belarusian Taiga
Vast expanses of deep green coniferous forests extending toward the Russian border.
Sit on the left if you prefer the afternoon sun behind you when traveling east. This side is better for spotting northern Munich and the industrial landscapes of northern Warsaw. Look out for the numerous small lakes in the Mazurian Lake District of Poland during clear summer days.
