Austrian Alps
Breathtaking views of jagged, snow-covered peaks immediately after departing Munich.
Caucasus Mountains
Spectacular views of Mount Elbrus and the high-altitude terrain between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Caspian Sea
A long transit over the world's largest inland body of water with views of coastal oil rigs.
Tibetan Plateau
Known as the 'Roof of the World,' featuring vast glacial valleys and high-altitude lakes.
South China Sea Islands
Verdant tropical islands and busy shipping lanes during the descent into HKG.
The right side is ideal for the departure out of MUC to catch the Alps. As this is an eastbound flight, the right side (south-facing) avoids the direct, harsh morning sun during the final hours, making it more comfortable for photography of the Himalayas and the South China Sea. If landing on Runway 07R, you may see the Big Buddha on Lantau Island.

Arid, golden-hued basins and unique geological formations of Northern China.
Shenzhen Skyline
On the final approach, the dense forest of skyscrapers in Shenzhen marks the entry into the Pearl River Delta.
Choose the left side for better views of the Northern Lights if flying during winter months on a more northerly track. On arrival, this side often sees the sun rise over the East China Sea. Be aware that glare can be intense during the morning descent into Hong Kong.
