MUC → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Alps shortly after departure and the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic and Ionian coasts. On final approach into Tel Aviv, this side typically provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Mediterranean coastline and the Tel Aviv skyline.
Grossglockner View
Spectacular views of Austria's highest peak and its surrounding glaciers.
Dalmatian Coastline
The intricate network of Croatian islands and the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Ionian Islands
Clear views of Corfu, Lefkada, and Cephalonia as the plane crosses the Greek coast.
Mediterranean Expanse
Deep blue maritime vistas during the mid-flight cruise towards the Levant.
Tel Aviv Skyline
The 'White City' skyline and the Jaffa port area during the final bank into Ben Gurion Airport.
Choose the right side for the most iconic approach into Tel Aviv; most flights approach from the sea and bank left, giving the right side a full view of the beach and skyscrapers. For evening flights, you may catch a sunset over the Mediterranean just before landing.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Glaciated peaks and high-altitude valleys of the Austrian Alps shortly after departure.
Salzburg & Lake District
Bird's-eye view of Mozart's birthplace and the emerald Salzkammergut lakes.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain ranges stretching across Montenegro and Albania.
Aegean Horizons
Distant views of the Greek mainland and the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea.
Carmel Coast
Views of Mount Carmel and the northern Israeli shoreline near Haifa during the initial descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize direct glare while viewing the Alps. This side is better for seeing the northern stretch of the Israeli coast and the city of Haifa if the approach path takes you slightly further north before turning.
