Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana)?
Right Side of the Plane
Flying south from Munich, the right side provides a superior mix of the Bavarian landscape, the high Austrian Alps, and a breathtaking transition to the turquoise Adriatic coastline and Dalmatian islands.

Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this large lake is often visible shortly after departure from Munich.
Central Eastern Alps
A sprawling panorama of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys as the flight crosses into Austria.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The spectacular sight of the Croatian islands, including Brač, Hvar, and Korčula, set against the blue Adriatic.
Makarska Riviera
Where the Biokovo mountains drop dramatically into the sea, creating a stunning white-rock and blue-water contrast.
Bay of Durrës
As the plane descends into Tirana, you get a clear view of Albania's primary port city and the long sandy coastline.
The right side is best for morning or midday flights when the sun illuminates the coastline and islands below. Keep your camera ready about 45-50 minutes into the flight as the plane leaves the mountains and tracks parallel to the stunning Croatian coast. Seasonal tip: in winter, the contrast between the white Alps and the deep blue Adriatic is most striking.

The rugged, karst mountain ranges stretching through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Durmitor National Park
Stunning views of the Tara River Canyon and the dramatic, high-altitude plateaus of Montenegro.
Prokletije Mountains
The 'Accursed Mountains' of northern Albania, known for their sharp, vertical rock faces and wild terrain.
