TRSMUC

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers a superior perspective of the core Alpine peaks, including the High Tauern and Grossglockner, and usually provides a better view of the Munich skyline during the standard approach into MUC.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Laguna di Grado

Aerial view of the intricate marshlands and islands of the Grado lagoon shortly after departure.

🏔️

Grossglockner

Direct views of Austria's highest peak (3,798m) and the surrounding Pasterze Glacier in the Hohe Tauern range.

🏙️

Munich Skyline

On a typical northern approach, you can see the city center, the Frauenkirche, and the Olympiapark to the west.

⚽

Allianz Arena

The glowing white 'inflatable' stadium is often clearly visible during the final descent into Munich.

Book an 'A' window seat for the best alpine views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains. Watch for the dramatic transition from the flat Friulian plains to the vertical limestone walls of the Alps roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⚓

Gulf of Trieste

Panoramic views of the Adriatic coastline, including the city of Trieste and the Miramare Castle.

⛰️

Julian Alps

Rugged limestone peaks of the Slovenian/Italian border, including the iconic silhouette of Mount Triglav.

🛶

Chiemsee

Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' look for Herreninsel and Fraueninsel islands in the middle of this massive lake.

🌲

Upper Bavarian Foreland

Lush green forests and traditional Bavarian villages dotting the landscape north of the Alps.

Choose an 'F' window seat to see the coastline during takeoff. This side is particularly scenic in winter when the Julian Alps and the Bavarian forests are blanketed in snow. Keep an eye out for the turquoise waters of the Isonzo river early in the flight.
