Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the winding Rhine River and the urban landscapes of central Germany, particularly during the descent into the Upper Rhine Plain near Karlsruhe.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Vistula River

Watching the majestic Vistula snake through the Polish heartland.

🏔️

Harz Mountains

The northernmost mountain range in Germany, often capped with snow in winter.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

A view of 'Mainhattan,' the financial district of Frankfurt, during the mid-descent.

🚢

Rhine River Valley

The historic waterway that defines the border region between Germany and France.

🏛️

Karlsruhe City

The unique fan-shaped city layout is visible just before touchdown at FKB.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. The highlight is the approach over the Rhine; watch for the heavy river traffic and the sprawling industrial architecture of the region. Ensure you have a window seat forward of the wing to clearly see the 'fan city' layout of Karlsruhe as the plane banks for its final turn.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏢

Minsk Skyline

Views of the Belarusian capital and its expansive Soviet-era urban planning.

🏙️

Warsaw Views

A distant view of the high-rise clusters in the Polish capital to the south.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The Erzgebirge range along the border of Czechia and Germany with its dense forests.

🌲

Northern Black Forest

The dark, rolling hills of the Schwarzwald appearing during the final approach phase.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the silhouette of the Sudetes mountains in the distance on clear days. Look out for the transition from the flat Polish plains to the undulating German hill country roughly 90 minutes into the flight.
