Which side of the plane to sit from Rostock-Laage Airport (Laage) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the scenic Mecklenburg Lake District early in the flight and offers a more consistent panoramic view of the distant Alps during the descent into Munich.

Mecklenburg Lake District
Shortly after takeoff, view the expansive Müritz and surrounding lakes forming Germany's largest interconnected lake area.
Berlin Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Berlin including the TV Tower is visible on the eastern horizon.
Ore Mountains
A beautiful view of the Erzgebirge mountain range defining the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Landshut Skyline
During the descent, look for the tall brick gothic tower of St. Martin's Church in Landshut.
Bavarian Alps Panorama
A breathtaking view of the northern limestone Alps appearing as a wall of peaks on the horizon during final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the lakes without the harsh glare of the afternoon sun. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your eyes on the southern horizon for the best views of the Alps. The left side is also better for spotting the historic center of Landshut during the STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route).

Güstrow Palace
Located just south of Rostock-Laage, this Renaissance palace is visible shortly after the aircraft reaches initial altitude.
Harz Mountains
To the far west, the Brocken and the Harz national park can be seen as the highest point in Northern Germany.
Leipzig Urban Area
View the dense urban landscape of Leipzig and its neighboring industrial hubs in central Germany.
Ingolstadt and Danube
As the plane enters Bavarian airspace, look for the headquarters of Audi and the crossing of the Danube river.
Allianz Arena
The iconic inflatable-panel stadium is often visible on the right when landing from the north on runways 26L or 26R.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography. If landing at night, the right side is preferred for spotting the illuminated Allianz Arena. Watch for the Danube river crossing near Ingolstadt, which serves as a great landmark indicating that Munich is only minutes away.
