Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Munich to Porto. Right-side seats capture the Alps during departure—the flight's most dramatic visual feature. While landing views favor the left, the Alpine scenery during climb-out is more visually striking and memorable than the estuary approach.
