WAW → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of major urban centers including Warsaw, Prague, and Munich, along with a high probability of seeing the Allianz Arena during the descent.
Warsaw Skyline
Excellent views of the Palace of Culture and Science and the modern skyscraper cluster shortly after takeoff.
Prague Panorama
The flight path frequently passes near Prague, offering a bird's-eye view of the Vltava River and the historic city center.
Bohemian Forest
Large expanses of the Šumava National Park provide deep green vistas near the German border.
Allianz Arena
Munich's iconic stadium is often clearly visible on the northern approach into the airport.
Munich Suburbs
View of the Bavarian capital's outskirts and the English Garden just before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for city lovers. For the best views of Prague, keep your eyes peeled roughly 35-45 minutes into the flight. On evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the German countryside.
Southern Warsaw
View of the Wilanów district and the Vistula River curves as the plane climbs south.
Krkonoše Mountains
The Giant Mountains on the Polish-Czech border are visible in the distance during mid-flight.
Moravian Hills
The picturesque rolling agricultural landscapes of the eastern Czech Republic.
The Alpine Fringe
On clear days, the northern peaks of the Alps appear as a jagged wall on the horizon during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft lighting on the Czech landscape. This side is also better for spotting the silhouette of the Alps in the distance as you approach Bavaria.
