Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Munich to Delhi. The left side wins overall due to the spectacular Alpine departure views over the Zugspitze and Bavarian lakes, which are among the most dramatic scenery on any European departure. The landing views on the right are interesting but Delhi's haze often limits visibility significantly. The left side also tracks the Hindu Kush and Karakoram ranges in the far distance during cruise over Pakistan.

During takeoff from Munich (MUC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Munich typically departs eastward on runway 08R/08L or southward on 26L/26R. On an eastbound departure routing southeast toward Austria, the left side gives you the Bavarian Alps including the Zugspitze and the Inn Valley. The right side faces north toward flat Munich suburbs with little of interest. Notable sights include: Zugspitze (Germany's highest peak), Inn Valley, Chiemsee lake, Austrian Alps foothills.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Delhi's main arrival runway is 28 (landing westward) or 10 (landing eastward). On a westbound approach from the east, the right side faces north and gives views over Old Delhi, the Yamuna River, and the dense urban grid of central Delhi. The left side faces south toward less distinctive suburban sprawl. Notable sights include: Yamuna River, Old Delhi urban grid, Connaught Place area, New Delhi government district.

The flight from Munich (MUC) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 7.5 to 8.5 hours.

The route crosses Austria and the eastern Alps, then tracks over the Balkans or Turkey depending on routing, across Iran's central plateau and the Zagros Mountains, over Pakistan's Indus Valley and Punjab plains, before descending into the Indo-Gangetic Plain toward Delhi. The Hindu Kush and Karakoram ranges may be visible to the north during the Pakistan segment at cruise altitude.
