Which side of the plane to sit from Odessa International Airport (Odessa) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Southern Carpathian Mountains and a breathtaking approach into Munich with views of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps to the south.
Black Sea Coastline
Aerial views of the Odessa gulf and the coastal lagoons as the aircraft climbs away from the Ukrainian shore.
Southern Carpathians
Rugged peaks of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania, offering dramatic terrain and deep forested valleys.
Budapest & The Danube
Depending on the specific air corridor, the historic Hungarian capital and the winding Danube River appear below.
Austrian & Bavarian Alps
On the descent into Munich, the jagged horizon of the Northern Limestone Alps provides a stunning backdrop to the south.
Chiemsee Lake
Bavaria's largest lake, often visible during the final approach phase into Munich Airport.
Choose the left side for optimal sun positioning on daytime flights, as the sun will generally be to the south, illuminating the landscape without causing direct glare. This side is especially rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the Alpine range becomes clearly visible on the horizon.
Port of Odessa
Detailed views of the industrial and historic harbor area of Odessa immediately following takeoff.
Dniester River
The meandering path of the Dniester River as it marks the border between Ukraine and Moldova.
High Tatras
Distant views of the snowy peaks of the Tatra Mountains on the border of Poland and Slovakia to the north.
Great Hungarian Plain
A vast geometric tapestry of agricultural fields stretching across eastern Hungary.
Bavarian Countryside
Quaint German villages, red-roofed towns, and the winding Isar River during the final descent.
The right side is excellent for seeing the city of Odessa itself if the wind requires a takeoff toward the north or east. It is also the better side for photography if you prefer softer, indirect light during the middle of the day, as it faces away from the sun's primary path.
