VIE โ STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a consistent panoramic view of the Northern Alps and the Swabian Jura mountains, offering much more dramatic scenery than the northern plains.
Vienna Woods
Lush green hills and forests surrounding Vienna immediately after takeoff from VIE.
Northern Limestone Alps
A distant but spectacular view of the rugged Austrian Alpine peaks to the south.
Lake Chiemsee
Bavaria's largest lake, known as the Bavarian Sea, visible near the midpoint of the flight.
Munich Skyline
A broad view of the Bavarian capital including its iconic towers if the path is southerly.
Swabian Jura
The dramatic limestone plateaus and escarpments of Baden-Wรผrttemberg during the descent.
Book the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the snow-capped Alps. During the final approach to Stuttgart, keep your eyes peeled for the historic Hohenzollern Castle on a clear day south of the flight path.
Danube River
The winding path of the Danube as it flows through Lower and Upper Austria.
Linz
Aerial view of the industrial and historic center of Upper Austria along the river.
Passau
The 'Three Rivers City' where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz meet at the German-Austrian border.
Munich Airport (MUC)
A massive bird's-eye view of one of Europe's major aviation hubs north of the city.
Stuttgart City Center
A view of the city basin and the Neckar Valley during the northern approach pattern.
The right side is excellent for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. It is also the best side for spotting the intricate river systems and large urban centers of Southern Germany.
