MUC โ LCA
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the Left side offers spectacular views of the Alps, the Right side provides a more diverse and continuous scenic experience, featuring the Croatian islands, the Aegean archipelago, and the stunning southern coastline of Cyprus during the descent.
Dalmatian Coast
Breathtaking views of the numerous islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian coastline.
Aegean Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of Greek islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes depending on the specific airway.
Troodos Mountains
The forested central massif of Cyprus becomes prominent as the plane begins its descent over the island.
Limassol Coastline
Views of the southern Cypriot shoreline and the Mediterranean horizon during the final approach.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A distinct geographic landmark located right next to the airport, often visible just before touchdown.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy views of the Greek islands without the glare of the southern sun. This side offers the most iconic 'island hopping' views and a great perspective of the Larnaca Salt Lake immediately before landing.
Austrian Alps
Dramatic views of the Hohe Tauern range and snow-capped peaks shortly after departure from Munich.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged terrain and deep valleys as the flight crosses over Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
Taurus Mountains
Massive peaks along the southern Turkish coast visible before the final Mediterranean crossing.
Nicosia
The world's last divided capital city is often visible from the left side during the descent into Larnaca.
Beลparmak Mountains
The distinctive 'Five Finger' mountain range of Northern Cyprus during the final approach phase.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Austrian Alps and the Turkish coastline. This side is ideal for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the alpine terrain and the northern Cypriot landscape.
