BLL โ FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides unparalleled views of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea and the Frisian Islands shortly after departure, followed by a scenic descent over the Taunus mountains.
Wadden Sea
Stunning patterns of tidal flats and sandbars along the Danish and German North Sea coast.
North Frisian Islands
Views of islands like Sylt and Amrum, often surrounded by turquoise shallow waters.
Bremen & Weser River
The winding Weser river and the industrial landscape of the Hanseatic city of Bremen.
Teutoburg Forest
A long, narrow forested ridge providing a sharp geographic contrast to the surrounding plains.
Taunus Mountains
Lush green hills and valleys just north of Frankfurt, seen clearly during the final stage of the flight.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographic features. The Wadden Sea is a highlight, especially during low tide when the mudflats are exposed. During sunset flights, this side offers beautiful golden reflections over the North Sea coast. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the coastline.
Jutland Peninsula
Aerial views of Denmark's patchwork fields and numerous wind farms characteristic of the region.
Hamburg & Elbe River
On a clear day, the bustling port of Hamburg and the wide Elbe estuary are visible to the southeast.
Lรผneburg Heath
Large expanses of nature reserves and purple-hued heathland in Northern Germany.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany can be spotted on the distant horizon during mid-flight.
Frankfurt Skyline
Excellent views of 'Mainhattan' and its iconic skyscrapers during the final approach patterns from the north.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Frankfurt financial district's skyscrapers during the descent. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Danish landscape without glare. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Elbphilharmonie if the flight path tracks slightly east of Hamburg.
