MUC → ORK
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Cork Airport (Cork)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic English coastline, the rugged cliffs of Cornwall, and a spectacular aerial entry over Cork Harbor and the historic town of Cobh.

Black Forest
The dense, rolling green hills of southwestern Germany shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
English Channel
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes between the UK and France.
Jurassic Coast
The stunning white cliffs and unique geological formations of the Dorset coastline.
Land's End
The dramatic westernmost tip of mainland England as you cross over to the Celtic Sea.
Cork Harbor
Stunning views of Cobh, the colorful waterfront, and Spike Island during the descent.
This side is essential for the arrival phase. As the plane descends into ORK, you often pass directly over Cork Harbor, one of the largest natural harbors in the world. For the best photos of the English coast, try to secure a seat away from the wing's leading edge.

Clear views of the Bavarian capital and the Allianz Arena immediately after takeoff.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped Northern Limestone Alps are visible to the south.
Rhine Valley
Looking down on the winding river and famous German vineyard regions.
Normandy Coastline
The historic beaches and chalk cliffs of northern France as you track toward the Atlantic.
Old Head of Kinsale

Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It is the better side for capturing the scale of the Alps shortly after departure from MUC. During the final approach, look for the jagged Irish coastline and the green fields of County Cork.
