Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Jerez Airport (Jerez)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the iconic Bernese Oberland peaks, the volcanic landscapes of central France, and the vast, dramatic landscape of the Spanish Meseta during the descent.

Bernese Oberland

World-famous peaks including the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau are often visible during the alpine crossing.

Massif Central

The unique, rounded volcanic domes (puys) of central France provide a distinct geological contrast.

Madrid & Central Meseta

Expansive views of the high Spanish plateau and the distant skyline of the capital city depending on the corridor.

🍷

Jerez Vineyards

Aerial views of the famous 'Albariza' white-soil vineyards that produce the region's world-renowned Sherry wine.

The right side is generally more comfortable for afternoon flights as it remains in the shade. It offers the best views of the Swiss peaks and the high plains of Spain. As you approach Jerez, look for the distinctive white soil of the vineyards which signals you are in the heart of Sherry country.

Andalusian Olive Groves

The geometric patterns of endless olive plantations create a unique texture across the landscape during the final approach.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the Alps. Be aware that during the middle of the day, this side can experience significant sun glare when flying southwest toward Jerez. Keep an eye out for the Sierra Morena mountains as you enter Andalusia.
