BEY → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic ascent over Mount Lebanon, the rugged Turkish coastline, and the iconic Frankfurt skyline during the final descent.
Mount Lebanon Range
Immediate views of the limestone peaks and the Qadisha Valley shortly after takeoff from Beirut.
Taurus Mountains
The jagged and snow-dusted ridges of southern Turkey as the flight path crosses the Antalya region.
The Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it flows through the Balkan plains and Hungary.
Frankfurt Skyline
A classic view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Main River during the final approach into FRA.
Choose the right side for morning departures to see the sunrise illuminate the Lebanese mountains. This side is also best for seeing the city of Frankfurt; if the plane approaches from the east, you will have a front-row seat to the banking turn over the city center.
Mediterranean Sea
Breathtaking views of the deep blue Levantine Basin shortly after departing the Lebanese coast.
Aegean Silhouette
Distant views of the Greek Dodecanese islands shimmering in the sunlight during the mid-flight cruise.
The Alpine Chain
Dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps visible as the aircraft enters Central Europe.
Bavarian Farmland
The orderly, picturesque green patches and rural villages of southern Germany during the initial descent.
The left side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean and the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing to capture the high-altitude glacial peaks of the Eastern Alps.
