ABZ → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this route because it offers the most dramatic views of the Frankfurt 'Mainhattan' skyline during the final approach, alongside excellent vistas of the Dutch polders.

Dutch Polders

Frankfurt Skyline
The iconic cluster of skyscrapers along the Main River, best seen when landing from the east on Runway 25.
To capture the best skyline views, choose a seat toward the front or middle of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. This side is also better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you head southeast.
