MUCPOZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic perspective, featuring distant views of the Alps during departure and a closer look at the Sudetes mountain range along the Czech-Polish border.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

The Alps

On clear days, look south immediately after takeoff for a stunning panorama of the snow-capped Northern Limestone Alps.

🌲

Bavarian Forest

Dense, dark green canopies of one of Europe's largest protected woodland areas along the Czech border.

🇨🇿

Bohemian Basin

Distant views of the undulating Czech countryside and the volcanic peaks of the Central Bohemian Uplands.

🏔️

Karkonosze Mountains

The highest part of the Sudetes range, featuring the distinctive peak of Śnieżka protruding above the clouds.

🏙️

Lower Silesia

The transition from mountains to the fertile plains of Poland, dotted with historic towns and industrial centers.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Sudetes. To see the Alps, look back toward the south during the first 15 minutes of the climb. Avoid the wing area (usually rows 10-20 on regional jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🍺

Northern Bavaria

Aerial views of the rolling hills and orderly agricultural patterns of the Hallertau region north of Munich.

🏰

Regensburg

The historic city at the northernmost point of the Danube, featuring its UNESCO-listed medieval center.

⛰️

Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains)

The rugged landscape and deep valleys of the mountain range that forms the natural border between Germany and Czechia.

🏙️

Dresden and the Elbe

Clear views of the Elbe river valley and the reconstructed baroque skyline of Dresden.

🌲

Lusatian Lake District

A unique landscape of artificial lakes created from former open-cast lignite mines near the Polish border.

Sit on the left if you want to see the urban sprawl of Dresden. For afternoon flights, this side is shaded, which reduces glare on the window and makes photography of the Saxon landscape significantly easier.
