Which side of the plane to sit from Jerez Airport (Jerez) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the most dramatic stretches of the Pyrenees and the breathtaking Alpine panorama, including Lake Constance, during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏜️

Sierra Morena

The rugged southern edge of the Iberian plateau covered in olive groves and Mediterranean scrub.

🏔️

Aneto & Eastern Pyrenees

Look out for the highest peaks of the Pyrenees near the border with Andorra.

🏔️

The Swiss Alps

In the distance, the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland and Mont Blanc may be visible.

💧

Lake Constance

Also known as Bodensee, this massive lake marks the border junction of Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.

🍺

Bavarian Foothills

A beautiful patchwork of green fields, forests, and traditional villages during the final approach to Munich.

Sit on the right for the best mountain views. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Pyrenees and Alps. Keep an eye out for the turquoise waters of the Alpine lakes as the plane begins its descent into the Munich area.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏛️

Seville & Guadalquivir

Aerial views of the Andalusian capital and the winding river shortly after takeoff from Jerez.

🏙️

Madrid & Guadarrama

The sprawling capital of Spain and the sharp peaks of the Sierra de Guadarrama to the north.

⛰️

Central Pyrenees

A cross-section of the high limestone peaks and deep valleys of the central mountain range.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique landscape of the Auvergne region featuring ancient dormant volcanic craters.

🌲

Black Forest Fringe

Dense green canopies of the southern German forests visible as you approach Bavaria.

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the Spanish interior plateaus and the historic layout of central Spanish cities like Toledo or Madrid if the flight path tracks slightly west.
