BRE → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally preferred for this short hop as it offers superior views of the winding Weser river shortly after takeoff and the most direct perspective of the iconic Frankfurt skyline during the final approach into FRA.

Weser River Meanders
Watch the Weser river snake through the northern German plains immediately after departing from Bremen.
Solling-Vogler Nature Park
A vast area of forested hills in the Weser Uplands providing deep green textures below the wing.
Kassel and Bergpark
Clear views of the city of Kassel and the UNESCO World Heritage Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe if the flight path tracks slightly east.
Taunus Mountain Range
The final geographic barrier before reaching the Rhine-Main area, featuring the Great Feldberg peak.
Frankfurt Skyline
Unbeatable views of Germany's only high-rise skyline, often referred to as Mainhattan, during the descent.
Book an early morning flight for the best lighting over the Weser, though be mindful of sun glare on the left side during southbound travel. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Frankfurt skyscrapers which typically appear about 5-10 minutes before landing when approaching from the north.

FRA Airport Layout
