ANU → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from V.C. Bird International Airport (Antigua) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this transatlantic crossing, offering better views of the European coastline upon landfall and the scenic Rhine Valley during the approach to Frankfurt without the glare of the morning sun.

Antigua North Coast
Exquisite views of the turquoise waters and coral reefs around Hodges Bay immediately after takeoff from ANU.
English Channel
As the flight approaches Europe, the rugged coastline of Brittany or the white cliffs of the English Channel are often visible.
The Ardennes Forest
Deep green forested hills across Belgium and Luxembourg as the aircraft begins its descent into German airspace.
Rhine Valley Castles
Stunning views of the winding Rhine River, dotted with historic castles and terraced vineyards, just minutes before landing.
Frankfurt Approach
Clear perspectives of the Taunus mountain range and the northern suburbs of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region.
Sit on the Left Side to avoid the direct glare of the sunrise, which occurs on the right side of the plane during this eastbound journey. This side offers the best chance to see the French or British coastline depending on the specific NAT track assigned. For the best photography of the Rhine Valley, ensure your window is clean before the descent starts, usually about 30 minutes before landing.

Transatlantic Sunrise
Spectacular high-altitude sunrise colors reflecting off the clouds over the Atlantic Ocean.
Northern France
Aerial views of the patchwork fields and rural landscapes of Normandy and the Ile-de-France region.
Frankfurt Skyline
Excellent views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the banking district if the plane approaches from the east.
Main River
The sparkling Main River as it snakes through the city of Frankfurt toward the airport.
The Right Side is perfect for early birds who want to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. However, be prepared for significant heat and brightness in the cabin during the final three hours of the flight. If the airport is using West-to-East runways for landing, this side provides the iconic view of the Frankfurt city skyline during the final turn.
