Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the Greater Caucasus Range during the descent into Tbilisi, including potential sightings of Europe's highest peaks, and remains glare-free for most of the daytime flight.
Bavarian Plains
Enjoy views of the neatly organized German countryside and the outskirts of Munich shortly after takeoff.
Southern Carpathians
Cross over the dramatic winding ridges of the Romanian mountains as the flight traverses Central Europe.
Black Sea Crossing
A long stretch over the deep blue waters of the Black Sea before making landfall on the Georgian coast.
Greater Caucasus Range
The star attraction; witness the snow-capped peaks separating Europe and Asia, including the massive Kazbek massif.
Mtskheta & Jvari
On the final approach, look for the confluence of the Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers near the ancient capital of Georgia.
Choose the left side for morning or afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. As you approach Tbilisi from the west, the Greater Caucasus will dominate the horizon to the north. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing for the most dramatic mountain vistas.
Austrian Alps
To the south, the jagged peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps are visible during the first hour of flight.
Lake Balaton
Spot the distinct turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake as you fly over western Hungary.
Bucharest Skyline
On clear days, the expansive urban sprawl of the Romanian capital can be seen to the south.
Lesser Caucasus
The rolling, volcanic landscapes of the southern Georgian highlands appear as the plane nears its destination.
Tbilisi City Panorama
Depending on the wind direction, the right side often provides a sweeping view of the city center and the Kura River on final approach.
The right side is excellent for catching the Alps early in the flight, but be aware of significant sun glare during daytime departures from Munich. If landing toward the east, this side offers a better view of the Tbilisi TV Tower and the Old Town's hillside architecture.
