Alpine Backdrop

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. As the plane descends into Munich, keep your eyes on the southern horizon; on clear days, the Zugspitze and other Alpine peaks are clearly visible. During takeoff from PRG, this side often yields views of the Vltava river curves. This side is also better for catching the golden hour glow over the Bavarian countryside.

Upon arrival at Munich, you will often have a better view of the airport's taxiways and the iconic control tower depending on the active runway configuration. Keep a lookout for the Allianz Arena if the approach path curves from the west.
