MUC → NTE
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the northern Alps shortly after takeoff and follows the scenic curves of the Loire River during the final approach into Nantes.
Lake Constance
The vast 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Northern Alps
Breathtaking distant views of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks to the south.
Jura Mountains
The distinct crescent-shaped mountain range on the French-Swiss border.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patchwork of one of the world's most famous wine-producing regions.
Lower Loire Valley
Stunning views of the sandbanks and islands of the Loire River as the plane descends.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views during the first half of the flight. For early morning departures, the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the Alps and Lake Constance. As you approach Nantes, look for the 'Machine of the Isle' area near the river if landing from the east.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald in Southwestern Germany.
Alsace & Rhine Valley
The historic landscape where Germany meets France along the Rhine River.
Loire Châteaux
Bird's eye views of historic castles scattered throughout the central French countryside.
French Farmland
Expansive, colorful agricultural plains characterizing the heart of France.
Nantes City Center
Views of the cathedral and city landmarks if the flight path tracks north of the airfield.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a better perspective of the rolling hills of the Black Forest. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white stone of the Loire Valley châteaux while crossing Central France.
