Which side of the plane to sit from Priština International Airport (Pristina) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic sections of the Alps, including the Julian Alps in Slovenia and the high glaciated peaks of the Austrian Hohe Tauern range.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged karst formations and dramatic limestone peaks across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Adriatic Coastline
Distant glimpses of the azure Adriatic Sea and the scattered islands along the Croatian coast.
Julian Alps
Stunning views of Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia, and its surrounding jagged ridges.
Hohe Tauern Range
Breathtaking panoramas of Austria's highest glaciers and the iconic peak of Grossglockner.
Bavarian Foothills
The transition from high Alpine peaks to the rolling green forests and lakes of Southern Germany.
Book a seat on the left to witness the sun setting behind the Alps on evening flights. Avoid sitting over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the high-altitude glaciers in Austria. The descent usually passes right by the Karwendel mountains, offering excellent photo opportunities of the rock faces.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural landscapes that stretch across the interior of the Balkan Peninsula.
The Danube River
Aerial views of the winding Danube as it snakes through the valleys of Upper Austria toward Germany.
Chiemsee
Bavaria's largest lake, known as the Bavarian Sea, often visible during the initial stages of the descent.
Upper Austrian Towns
A bird's-eye view of the historic towns and industrial hubs lining the path toward the German border.
Allianz Arena
On certain northern approach patterns, the glowing white exterior of Munich's famous football stadium is visible.
The right side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while photographing the landscape. It offers better views of the Pannonian plains and the suburban sprawl of Munich. Watch for Chiemsee about 15 minutes before landing as a key landmark.
