PVK β†’ MUC

Which side of the plane to sit from Aktion National Airport (Preveza) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an incredible panoramic journey along the rugged Balkan coastline, the island-dense Dalmatian coast, and the most dramatic crossing of the Eastern Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Ambracian Gulf

A stunning view of the unique lagoon and wetlands immediately after departure.

⛰️

Albanian Riviera

Dramatic limestone mountains that plunge directly into the turquoise Ionian Sea.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

The intricate network of thousands of Croatian islands including Hvar and Brač.

πŸ”οΈ

Grossglockner

Views of Austria's highest peak as the flight traverses the central Alpine ridge.

πŸ’§

Lake Chiemsee

Known as the Bavarian Sea, this massive lake is a key landmark before landing.

The right side is superior for geography lovers. Request a seat behind the wing to see the Croatian islands without obstruction. For the best photography of the Alps, a morning flight provides the best front-lighting on the peaks. Watch for the 'Eagle's Nest' area near Berchtesgaden as you enter German airspace.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ–οΈ

Ionian Islands

Clear views of Paxos and Antipaxos shortly after takeoff from Preveza.

🚒

Adriatic Expanse

Watch ferries and cargo ships crossing between Italy and the Balkans.

🏰

Istrian Peninsula

The western coast of Croatia including the historic towns of Rovinj and Pula.

πŸ”οΈ

Dolomite Peaks

Jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps visible in the distance to the West.

🏟️

Allianz Arena

Munich's iconic white inflatable stadium is often visible during the final descent.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights and potential views of the Italian coast across the sea. During the descent into Munich, this side often provides a better view of the city center if the flight path approaches from the north.
