Which side of the plane to sit from Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Alps to the south for a significant portion of the flight, especially as you cross from France into Germany.

The High Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the southern horizon.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
A magnificent view of the entire lake with the Swiss and Austrian mountains rising sharply from the southern shore.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak can often be identified as you begin your descent into the Munich area.
Ammersee and Starnberger See
The large, deep-blue Bavarian lakes located just southwest of Munich, popular for sailing and recreation.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain views. During morning flights, be prepared for some sun glare on this side; an afternoon flight provides much better lighting for photography of the Alpine range. The transition from the flat French plains to the dramatic Alpine foothills is a major highlight.

Loire Valley Castles
Bird's-eye views of the 'Garden of France' and its historic estates shortly after departing Nantes.
Southern Black Forest
The dense, rolling green canopy of the German Schwarzwald as the flight progresses eastward.
Friedrichshafen
The northern shore of Lake Constance, known as the home of the Zeppelin and German aviation history.
Munich Suburbs
A view of the neatly organized Bavarian towns and the Allianz Arena if the approach path comes from the north.
The left side is generally better for a clear, glare-free view of the French and German countryside. It is particularly good for spotting the northern shores of the Bodensee and the sprawling outskirts of Munich during the final descent.
