About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Munich (MUC) to Palma De Mallorca (PMI)?

The takeoff views alone—the immediate Alpine panorama—outweigh the landing advantage of the left side.

Notable sights include: Bavarian Alps (especially Zugspitze massif), Isar River valley, Munich city sprawl, Ammersee lake.
