MUC β ZAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for the spectacular descent into Zadar, providing a panoramic view of the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the dense cluster of islands forming the Zadar Archipelago.

Zillertal Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys in the Tyrolean region of Austria.
Istrian Coast
The western silhouette of the Istrian peninsula and the sparkling waters of the northern Adriatic.
Kvarner Islands
Bird's-eye views of the distinctively shaped islands of Cres, LoΕ‘inj, and Pag.
Zadar Archipelago
A breathtaking mosaic of hundreds of small islands, reefs, and turquoise shallows during the final descent.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights as the sun sets over the Adriatic Sea. During the landing phase, keep your camera ready for the 'leopard spot' pattern of the Kornati islands to the southwest. Window seats forward of the wing are best to avoid engine heat haze over the islands.

Glaciated peaks of the central Austrian Alps, including distant views of the Grossglockner.
Ljubljana Basin
The capital of Slovenia nestled between the Alps and the marshes, visible as you cross into the Balkans.
Velebit Mountain Range
The rugged, limestone peaks of Croatia's largest mountain range, marking the boundary between the hinterland and the sea.
Novigrad Sea
A unique, nearly enclosed salt-water bay just north of Zadar, characterized by its deep blue color.
