NCE → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the glitzy Monaco coastline immediately after takeoff and a more direct view of the high glaciated peaks of the central Alps during the cruise.
Search flights from NCE to MUC
Monaco & Monte Carlo
A bird's-eye view of the world's second-smallest country and its luxury yachts in the harbor.
The High Alps
Breathtaking views of the glaciated peaks of the Swiss Bernina Range and the Austrian Tyrol.
Bavarian Lakes
Starnberger See and Ammersee, the playground of Munich's elite, visible during the final approach.
Allianz Arena
The iconic, illuminated home of FC Bayern Munich is often visible on the northern approach into MUC.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best views of the Alps, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready in the first 5 minutes for a spectacular shot of Monaco.

Côte d'Azur
The stunning turquoise waters and white beaches of Nice and Antibes during the initial climb.
Mercantour National Park
The southern tip of the French Alps where the mountains meet the sea in a dramatic vertical rise.
Lake Constance
The expansive 'Bodensee' which serves as the liquid border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Swabian Highlands
The rolling green hills and dense forests of the Baden-Württemberg region during the descent.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is better for seeing the western shore of Lake Constance and the transition from the high mountains into the German plains.
