PUJ → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Caribbean islands upon departure and is generally favored for spotting the Munich city skyline and the Allianz Arena during the final descent into Germany.

Turks and Caicos
Aerial views of the vibrant turquoise coral reefs and white sand cays shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
English Channel
Views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the distant white cliffs of the UK coast.
Western Europe
Clear vistas of the structured agricultural landscapes of Belgium and Northern France.
Munich City Center
On clear days, the iconic towers of the Frauenkirche and the dense urban core are visible during the descent.
Allianz Arena
The glowing white 'inflatable' stadium, home to FC Bayern Munich, is a landmark feature on the left approach.
Book a seat well forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caribbean atolls. As this is an overnight eastbound flight, the left side remains cooler and darker for longer, as the sun rises on the opposite side of the aircraft. Start looking for European landmasses roughly 60-90 minutes before touchdown.

Atlantic Sunrise
A front-row seat to a spectacular high-altitude sunrise as the plane travels east toward the morning light.
French Coastline
Depending on the specific North Atlantic Track, you may see the rugged cliffs of Brittany or the beaches of Normandy.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of Southwestern Germany visible as you cross the Rhine valley.
Bavarian Alps
A panoramic view of the snow-capped Alpine range stretching across the southern horizon.
Upper Bavaria
The charming, organized patchwork of Bavarian farmland and red-roofed villages near the airport.
Expect intense direct sunlight in the morning; keep your window shade down during the mid-flight to sleep, but open it about an hour before landing. The right side is essential for photographers wanting to capture the distant Alpine range. Note that winter flights offer more dramatic mountain shadows due to the low sun angle.
