MUC â EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer incredible views of the North Atlantic and Greenland, the Left Side is preferred for the high probability of seeing the Manhattan skyline during the descent into Newark, coupled with beautiful views of the Irish and Canadian coasts.

English Channel & Coast
Clear views of the southern English coastline and the busy shipping lanes of the channel.
Southern Ireland
The emerald green fields and rugged Atlantic cliffs of the Irish coast.
Iceberg Alley
Look for floating white specks in the dark Atlantic waters off the coast of Newfoundland.
Nova Scotia Shoreline
The winding bays and rocky peninsulas of the Canadian Maritimes.
Manhattan Skyline
On many approach paths to Newark, the left side offers an iconic view of the entire New York City skyline.
For the best chance of seeing New York City, select a window seat behind the wing. This is a daytime flight, so the sun will be to your south; be prepared for some glare on the left side during the Atlantic crossing. Ensure your window is clean for the descent over the US East Coast.

Scottish Highlands
The dramatic, mist-covered mountains and lochs of northern Scotland.
Greenland Ice Cap
A breathtaking expanse of the world's second-largest ice sheet, featuring deep crevasses.
Labrador Wilderness
The untouched, lake-strewn tundra and dense forests of northern Canada.
New England Coast
Views of historic harbors and the winding coastline of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Hudson Valley
Scenic views of the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains during the initial descent.
The right side is ideal for photographers as it faces north, away from the sun, providing consistent lighting and no glare. It offers the most extensive views of the Greenland interior. During the final approach, you will likely see the suburban landscapes of New Jersey rather than the NYC skyline.
