BLR → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged Hindu Kush and the majestic Caucasus mountains, including Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus.
Hindu Kush
Stunning snow-capped peaks and deep valleys while crossing through Afghanistan.
Caspian Sea
The vast expanse of the world's largest inland body of water near the Baku region.
Mount Elbrus
The dormant volcano and highest peak in Europe situated in the Caucasus range.
Black Sea Coast
The deep blue contrast of the Black Sea against the northern Turkish and Georgian coastline.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense forests and rolling peaks as the flight enters European airspace via Romania.
Frankfurt Skyline
A great view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers during the approach into FRA.
The right side is superior for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight while viewing the mountains. Look out for the Caucasus peaks approximately 6-7 hours into the flight. Winter flights offer the most dramatic snow-covered mountain views.
Western Ghats
Lush green ridges and tropical escarpments visible shortly after takeoff from Bangalore.
Thar Desert
The expansive golden sands and arid landscapes of Western India and Pakistan.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, high-altitude terrain of central Turkey with its unique geological formations.
Istanbul
Distant views of the Bosphorus strait and the sprawling urban landscape of the city.
The Alps
Southern glimpses of the snowy Alpine peaks during the final leg over Central Europe.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. It also provides better views of the Turkish coast if the flight path dips south.
