Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amsterdam to Munich. The right side captures the spectacular Dutch canal and polder landscape on departure, and during the cruise over Germany offers views of the Rhine valley, the Main river corridor, and the Bavarian countryside. On approach to Munich the views shift more to the left, but the departure scenery from Schiphol on the right is the most visually distinctive part of this short flight.

During takeoff from Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Schiphol typically departs eastward on runways 18R/36L or 06/24, and heading southeast toward Munich, a right-side seat gives views over Amsterdam city center, the IJ river, and the patchwork of polders and canals of the Dutch lowlands. The historic canal ring of Amsterdam is clearly visible from low altitude on the right side during climb-out. Notable sights include: Amsterdam canal ring (grachtengordel), IJ river and Amsterdam harbor, Dutch polder landscape with drainage canals, IJmeer lake to the east.

When landing at Munich (MUC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Munich Airport sits north of the city, and aircraft typically approach from the north or northwest on runway 08L/26R or 08R/26L. On a southerly approach, the left side offers views over Munich city center including the English Garden, the Isar river, and the Alps rising dramatically on the southern horizon. Notable sights include: Munich city center and English Garden (Englischer Garten), Isar river, Bavarian Alps on the southern horizon, Olympiapark with its distinctive tent roof structures.
