POZMUC

Which side of the plane to sit from Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more scenic perspective of the Sudetes mountain range and the historic city of Regensburg, followed by excellent views of the Isar River valley during the final approach into Munich.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Sudetes Mountains

Look out for the Karkonosze range on the Polish-Czech border shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏰

Dresden & Elbe Valley

View the historic architecture of Dresden and the winding Elbe River as you cross into Germany.

⛪

Regensburg

The UNESCO-listed Old Town and the Stone Bridge are visible as the flight traverses towards the Danube.

💧

Isar River

Follow the turquoise waters of the Isar as it winds through the Bavarian landscape during the descent.

For the best visibility of the Sudetes, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the east. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Bavarian towns and the Isar River during the final 15 minutes of flight. On clear days, the Alps may be visible far on the horizon.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏭

Leipzig/Halle Area

Spot the major logistics hub and the sprawling urban landscape of central Germany.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Observe the dense green hills of the Thüringer Wald as the plane heads south-southwest.

🥨

Nuremberg

View the historic Imperial Castle and the expansive metropolitan region of northern Bavaria.

🚗

Ingolstadt

Look for the massive Audi headquarters and manufacturing plant located along the Danube River.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the German countryside. During the standard landing approach from the north, keep an eye out for the glowing white Allianz Arena stadium on the right side just minutes before touchdown. Seasonal fog in Munich is common in autumn, so early afternoon flights offer the clearest views.
