Takeoff from MUC

LEFT

Munich departures on runway 08R/26L or 08L/26R typically head westward or northwestward toward the Atlantic routing. A left-side seat gives you a view south toward the Bavarian Alps — the Zugspitze massif and the Inn Valley are clearly visible on climb-out before the aircraft turns northwest. The city of Munich itself also passes on the left as you gain altitude.
