MUC → SJJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Sarajevo International Airport (Sarajevo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience of the high Alpine peaks upon departure and a dramatic view of the Dinaric Alps and the emerald rivers of Bosnia during the descent.
High Alps
Spectacular views of the highest German and Austrian peaks, including the Zugspitze in the distance.
Lake Wörthersee
The vibrant turquoise waters of Carinthia's largest lake near the Austrian-Slovenian border.
Una River Canyon
The deep green waters of the Una River as it carves through the rugged landscape of western Bosnia.
Olympic Mountains
Excellent views of the ski runs and peaks of Igman and Bjelašnica during the low-altitude descent into the Sarajevo valley.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour over the Bosnian mountains. Watch closely about 15 minutes before landing for the dramatic transition from the Croatian plains into the deep, forested valleys of Bosnia. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes for the low-pass views over the Ilidža district.
Munich Skyline
Distant views of the Allianz Arena and the Munich city center shortly after departing MUC to the south.
Salzkammergut Alps
The dramatic limestone peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Dachstein Massif.
Zagreb Cityscape
A clear view of the Croatian capital, including the twin spires of the Cathedral and the red roofs of the Upper Town.
Mount Trebević
As the plane turns for the final approach into SJJ, the rugged slopes of the 1984 Olympic mountain become visible.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting major urban centers like Zagreb. During the final approach into Sarajevo, look for the historical Ottoman-style architecture of the Old Town (Baščaršija) if the plane enters the valley from the east.
