MUC → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning distant panorama of the Northern Alps and close-up views of the Swabian Jura and Black Forest highlands.
Bavarian Alps Panorama
On clear days, the entire Alpine chain from the Zugspitze to the Salzburg peaks is visible to the south shortly after takeoff.
Upper Bavarian Lakes
Stunning views of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee shimmering south of the Munich departure path.
Ulm Minster
The world's tallest church spire is a prominent landmark as you pass over the city of Ulm midway through the flight.
Swabian Jura
The dramatic escarpment and limestone plateaus of the Schwabische Alb provide a rugged and textured landscape view.
Southern Black Forest
The dense, dark canopy of the Schwarzwald appears as you approach the French border region near Strasbourg.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the plane turns west for the best mountain shots, and look for the white peaks in winter.
Danube Valley
Follow the blue ribbon of the Danube river as it flows through the heart of northern Bavaria.
Stuttgart Metropolitan Area
A birds-eye view of the major industrial centers and the winding Neckar river valley in Baden-Wurttemberg.
Palatinate Forest
Germany's largest contiguous forest area, characterized by deep green valleys and red sandstone rocks near the border.
Moselle Vineyards
The world-famous steep-slope vineyards lining the serpent-like loops of the Moselle river near the end of the flight.
Historic Trier
Germany's oldest city and its Roman ruins are often visible during the final descent into Luxembourg Airport.
The right side is ideal for geography enthusiasts who enjoy following river systems like the Danube and Moselle. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the low mountain ranges of the Eifel and Hunsruck.
