AYT β†’ FRA

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Taurus Mountains during departure and the best chance to see the Frankfurt skyline and the Main River on the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Western Taurus range visible shortly after takeoff from Antalya.

πŸ™οΈ

Belgrade and the Danube

Aerial view of the Serbian capital where the Sava and Danube rivers converge.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The largest lake in Central Europe, known for its distinct turquoise-green water in Hungary.

🏰

Vienna

Clear views of the Austrian capital's urban layout and the Danube canal system.

πŸŒ†

Frankfurt Skyline

Iconic 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the banking district during the descent into FRA.

Sit on the left for the morning sun to be behind you, providing better lighting for photos of the Turkish coast. During the final 10 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the Frankfurt skyscrapers if the wind is from the west (Runway 25).

Right Side Highlights
7.4
πŸ–οΈ

Turkish Riviera

Stunning views of the turquoise coastline and Mediterranean beaches of Lara and KonyaaltΔ±.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged terrain stretching across Bulgaria and Serbia with deep river valleys.

Northern Alps

Distal views of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps as the plane crosses into Southern Germany.

🌲

Spessart Nature Park

Dense ancient forests of central Germany providing a lush green carpet before landing.

🚒

Main River Meanders

The winding path of the Main River as it approaches the industrial heart of Frankfurt.

The right side is excellent for seeing the coastline during departure. If the flight path takes a more southerly route over the Alps, you may catch a glimpse of the Zugspitze. Be aware that the afternoon sun can cause significant glare on this side.
