MUC → TRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer breathtaking Alpine vistas, the Right Side is preferred for its front-row view of the jagged Dolomites and the spectacular transition from the high peaks to the Adriatic coastline.

Karwendel Range
Dramatic limestone walls and deep valleys immediately south of the Bavarian border.
The Dolomites
Iconic, jagged UNESCO World Heritage peaks including the Marmolada and Sella massifs.
Miramare Castle
The white 19th-century castle sitting on the edge of the Gulf of Trieste during the final descent.
For the most dramatic lighting, take an afternoon flight when the sun hits the western faces of the Dolomites. This side offers a better view of the Venetian lagoon in the distance if the flight path tracks slightly west. The descent happens quickly, so watch for the coastline early.

Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea', this massive lake is often visible shortly after departure from Munich.
Großglockner
The highest peak in Austria is visible in the distance within the High Tauern range.
Julian Alps
Rugged limestone peaks including Mount Triglav marking the border between Italy and Slovenia.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct turquoise hue of the Alpine rivers. During the final approach into TRS, you may see the rolling hills of the Collio wine region.
