Which side of the plane to sit from Sarajevo International Airport (Sarajevo) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct and dramatic view of the high Alpine peaks and the rugged Dinaric karst landscape, providing superior mountain scenery throughout the flight.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic views of the rugged limestone peaks and deep canyons of Bosnia and Herzegovina shortly after departure.
Hohe Tauern Range
As you enter Austria, look for the highest peaks of the Eastern Alps, including the majestic Grossglockner.
Munich City Skyline
If landing on runways 26L/R, you will get an excellent view of the city center, including the iconic Frauenkirche towers.
Chiemsee
Often visible as you cross the border into Germany, this is Bavaria's largest lake, known as the Bavarian Sea.
Choose the left side for the best mountain photography. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to your side, illuminating the peaks perfectly. In winter, the snow-covered Dinaric Alps are particularly breathtaking. Be aware that most Munich approaches from the southeast provide the best city views from this side.
Bosna River Valley
Follow the winding path of the Bosna River as it carves through the green hills of central Bosnia.
Salzkammergut Lakes
Stunning views of Austria's famous lake district, including Lake Attersee and Mondsee, reflecting the sky.
Allianz Arena
On many approaches to Munich, the glowing white exterior of the world-famous football stadium is clearly visible.
Bavarian Foothills
Rolling green hills, traditional villages, and dense forests characterize the descent into the Munich basin.
The right side is ideal for avoiding sun glare during afternoon flights. It offers the best views of the Austrian lake district, which is a highlight of the mid-flight. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for a potential view of the Allianz Arena stadium.
