About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Villafranca (VRN) to Munich (MUC)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Villafranca to Munich. The northbound flight path from Verona to Munich offers superior scenery on the right side. Takeoff provides views of the Adige valley and Alpine foothills, while the cruise segment crosses the Alps themselves—the Brenner Pass region and Austrian valleys are best seen from the right. Landing on the left is good, but the right-side advantage during the longer cruise portion outweighs the landing benefit.
