Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the historic Venice city center immediately after takeoff and a more direct look at the dramatic Brenner Pass and the Inn Valley during the Alpine crossing.

Venice Historic Center
Spectacular bird's-eye view of the main islands, the Grand Canal, and St. Mark's Square shortly after departure from VCE.
Brenta Dolomites
Dramatic views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the western Dolomites as the plane climbs north.
Brenner Pass
Look down upon the historic mountain pass and the winding highway that serves as the primary artery between Italy and Austria.
Innsbruck and Inn Valley
A clear view of the Tyrolean capital nestled deep within the massive Nordkette and Karwendel mountain ranges.
Lake Starnberg
One of Germany's largest lakes, visible during the final descent into the Bavarian plains before reaching Munich.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the left side has the sun behind it, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps. Watch for the 'fish' shape of Venice immediately after wheels-up if the aircraft turns south before heading north.

Venetian Lagoon & Lido
Views of the smaller islands like Murano and Burano, and the long sandbars of the Lido and Pellestrina.
Marmolada Peak
The 'Queen of the Dolomites,' featuring the largest glacier in the range, visible as you cross the Italian-Austrian border.
Grossglockner
Austria's highest mountain may be visible in the distance to the northeast during the cruise phase.
Lake Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' is often visible to the east during the approach into Munich airport.
Bavarian Farmland
A patchwork of vibrant green fields and small villages characteristic of the Upper Bavarian landscape.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain peaks. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Sella Group are particularly breathtaking on this side.
