MUCMAH

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Menorca Airport (Menorca)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Swiss Alps and a spectacular bird's-eye view of the French Riviera before descending into the Balearic Islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏟️

Munich & Allianz Arena

Excellent views of the Bavarian capital and the iconic glowing stadium immediately following takeoff from MUC.

🏔️

Swiss Alps Massif

A breathtaking panorama of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight transits toward the Mediterranean.

🏖️

Cote d'Azur

A long, scenic stretch following the French coastline, featuring Nice, Cannes, and the red volcanic rocks of the Estérel.

🛥️

Gulf of Lion

The wide blue expanse where the Rhone river meets the sea, often dotted with white sails and cargo ships.

🏝️

Menorca North Coast

Dramatic approach views of the rugged, red-tinted cliffs and lighthouse of Cavalleria on Menorca's wild northern shore.

Sit on the right for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Spanish coast. Keep your camera ready about 35-45 minutes into the flight for the most intense mountain scenery over Switzerland.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Austrian & Italian Alps

Stunning views of the rugged Dolomites and the snow-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern range shortly after departure.

🏙️

Po Valley

The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Northern Italy, often visible with the city of Milan in the distance.

⚓

Genoa & Liguria

The dramatic curve of the Italian Riviera and the bustling port city of Genoa where the mountains meet the sea.

🏝️

Corsica Silhouette

On clear days, the high mountain ridges of Corsica are visible rising sharply from the Mediterranean to the east.

🌊

Mahón Harbor

If landing from the east, spectacular views of the deep natural harbor of Mahón, one of the largest in the world.

Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the Italian coastline isn't blocked. Early morning flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the Mediterranean.
