AMMFRA

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is favored for its unique view of the Dead Sea shortly after takeoff, the rugged Taurus Mountains in Turkey, and the potential for a stunning aerial view of Frankfurt's skyline during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🧂

The Dead Sea

An incredible view of the world's lowest point and the stark contrast of the Judean Desert shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic, snow-capped Turkish peaks that rise sharply from the Mediterranean coast near Antalya.

💧

The Danube River

The silver ribbon of Europe's second-longest river winding through the plains of Hungary and Austria.

🏙️

Vienna & Budapest

Potential distant views of these historic capitals depending on the specific airway corridors used.

🏗️

Mainhattan Skyline

On final approach to FRA (Runway 25L/R), the right side offers a direct view of the Frankfurt banking district's skyscrapers.

The right side is essential for seeing the Dead Sea rift valley within the first 15 minutes of flight. To avoid glare, afternoon flights are best for this side. Keep your eyes peeled for the Taurus Mountains as you cross the Turkish coast; they provide some of the most dramatic terrain of the journey. For the iconic Frankfurt skyline view, hope for a westerly landing (the most common configuration).

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Levantine Coast

Exiting the Levant, enjoy views of the dense urban sprawl of Tel Aviv meeting the Mediterranean Sea.

🏝️

Greek Archipelago

Vibrant blue waters dotted with the white-washed buildings of the Cyclades and larger islands like Rhodes.

⛰️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The rugged, mountainous terrain of southern Greece with deep blue bays cutting into the land.

🏔️

The Austrian Alps

Glaciated peaks and high-altitude alpine lakes as the flight crosses towards Southern Germany.

🚜

Bavarian Countryside

Neatly organized agricultural patterns and dense forests of the Spessart region as you approach Frankfurt.

Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side offers superior views of the Mediterranean coastline and the deep blue of the Aegean Sea. Look out for the snowy peaks of the Alps approximately 3.5 hours into the flight. If the flight path takes a southerly route, you might catch a glimpse of the Corinth Canal.
