Select the right side for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the Sahara. This side is also preferred for the arrival into Frankfurt, as the standard approach patterns often circle the city to the east, providing a clear view of the financial district.

Gulf of Guinea
Panoramic views of the Ghanaian coastline and the Atlantic horizon immediately after departure.
Western Sahara
The vast, undulating sand dunes of the Erg Chech desert region in northern Mali and Algeria.
Atlas Mountains
The rugged peaks of the Saharan Atlas forming a natural barrier between the desert and the Mediterranean.
Balearic Islands
Glimpses of the Spanish islands like Mallorca and Menorca while crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
Mont Blanc Range
Distant but impressive views of the highest peaks in the French and Italian Alps.
The left side is ideal for daytime flights to minimize glare as the sun typically moves from the east to the west. It provides the best perspective of the Atlas Mountains transition into the Mediterranean basin. During the winter, look for the stark contrast between the desert and the snow-capped peaks in Northern Africa.
