Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Polish capital and the breathtaking approach over the lake-filled Trakai region before landing.
The Alps
If the flight path departs south before turning, catch a glimpse of the snowy Bavarian and Austrian peaks in the distance.
Warsaw Skyline
A fantastic view of the Polish capital, featuring its unique mix of historic buildings and modern glass skyscrapers.
Vistula River
Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the Mazovian lowlands.
Trakai Island Castle
During the final descent, look for the iconic 14th-century red-brick fortress nestled in the middle of Lake Galvė.
Vilnius Old Town
A sweeping view of the red-roofed UNESCO site and its numerous baroque church spires just before touchdown.
Choose a seat on the right for the iconic Trakai Castle view, which is usually visible 5-10 minutes before landing. If departing Munich to the south, the Alps are a majestic but brief sight on this side during the initial climb.
Bavarian Forest
View the dense, dark green canopy of Central Europe's largest continuous forest area shortly after takeoff.
Wroclaw
Spot the historic 'City of a Hundred Bridges' and its distinctive gothic architecture from 30,000 feet.
Masurian Lake District
Observe the intricate patterns of thousands of glacial lakes reflecting the sky across northern Poland.
Dzūkija National Park
Marvel at the vast, uninterrupted pine forests as you cross the border into southern Lithuania.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to avoid harsh direct sunlight while providing the best view of the sun setting over the Baltic plains. Look for the glinting Masurian lakes roughly 40 minutes before descent begins.
