SPC โ MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from La Palma Airport (Santa Cruz De La Palma) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer volcanic departures, the right side excels during the approach, providing a stunning panorama of the Alps and the shimmering Lake Constance before landing.
Mount Teide
Look south shortly after takeoff to see the towering peak of Tenerife rising above the Atlantic clouds.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible as the flight crosses the Cantabrian coast.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic domes of the Chaรฎne des Puys in central France.
Lake Constance
The vast blue expanse of the Bodensee, marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Bavarian Alpine Panorama
A breathtaking sweep of the snow-capped Alps to the south during the descent into Munich.
The right side is essential for the 'Alpine glow' on late afternoon arrivals. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for Lake Constance; if the flight approaches MUC from the south, you'll get a direct view of the Allianz Arena and Munich city center.
Caldera de Taburiente
Dramatic views of La Palma's massive central volcanic crater during the initial climb.
Galician Rias
The rugged Atlantic fjords and indented coastline of Northwestern Spain.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The sprawling geometric patterns of the famous French wine region and the Gironde estuary.
Loire Valley
The historic heart of France, featuring winding rivers and glimpses of grand chateaus.
Choose the left side for better coastal views of the Bay of Biscay. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare on the window while photographing the French coastline.
