SNN â FMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Shannon Airport (Shannon) to Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior scenic experience, featuring expansive views of the English Channel, the dense Black Forest, and a breathtaking approach toward the Alps and Lake Constance near the destination.
Celtic Sea
Deep blue maritime vistas as the flight leaves the Irish coast toward the English Channel.
Parisian Horizon
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the Paris metropolitan area may be visible to the south.
The Black Forest
The dense, dark canopy of the Schwarzwald mountain range stretching across the horizon.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' reflecting the sky at the meeting point of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
The Alps
Stunning vistas of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian Alps during the descent into Memmingen.
Upper Swabia
Traditional Bavarian villages and Baroque church steeples as the plane prepares for landing.
This side is essential for the iconic Alpine panorama during descent. If flying in the afternoon, be prepared for some glare as the sun will be in the southwest. For the best views of Lake Constance, keep a close watch approximately 20 minutes before landing.
Shannon Estuary
Dramatic views of Ireland's longest river meeting the Atlantic Ocean immediately after takeoff.
Irish South Coast
Aerial perspective of the rugged Waterford and Wexford coastlines before crossing the sea.
Bristol Channel
Views across the water to the Welsh coastline and the Severn Estuary landmarks.
Northern France
The patchwork fields of Picardy and the historic urban centers of the Grand Est region.
Rhine Valley
The winding industrial and historical lifeline of Europe as you transition into German airspace.
Swabian Jura
The rolling limestone plateaus and forested escarpments of Southwest Germany.
Sit on this side for better views of the Irish coastline during the initial climb. In the morning, you will have the sun behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Rhine Valley and Northern French plains.
