MUC → OVB
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior experience due to the immediate proximity of the Alps upon takeoff from Munich and a more direct view of the central Ural Mountain range as you transition from Europe to Asia.

The Bavarian Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged Alpine peaks immediately after departing Munich Airport.
Prague
The historic center and Vltava River visible as the flight tracks east over the Czech Republic.
Southern Ural Range
A dramatic crossing over the ancient mountains with views of deep valleys and mining towns.
The Kama River
A major tributary of the Volga with massive hydroelectric dams and industrial clusters.
The Ob Sea
The massive Novosibirsk Reservoir visible on the final approach into Tolmachevo Airport.
Sit on the right for the best takeoff views; sit near the window but away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Urals. During winter, the landscape is almost entirely white, so mid-day flights provide the best contrast for photography.

Berlin and Northern Germany
Distant views of the sprawling German capital and the flat northern European plains.
The Volga River
Aerial perspective of the winding loops of Europe's longest river near the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
Moscow Cityscape
The massive urban footprint and skyscrapers of the Russian capital often visible to the north.
Northern Urals
Rugged, snow-capped peaks that define the geographic boundary between the continents.
West Siberian Taiga
An endless emerald carpet of coniferous forest and sprawling marshlands.
The left side is ideal for night flights during the summer months to catch the 'White Nights' glow on the northern horizon. Watch for the distinct sparkle of Moscow's Ring Road if flying after sunset.
