Aerial views of the turquoise coastline and the massive industrial infrastructure of the Jubail area shortly after takeoff.
Bosporus Strait
A distant but spectacular view of Istanbul, where the waters divide the Asian and European continents.
Carpathian Mountains
The sweeping, forested curves of the Romanian Carpathians, offering deep green valleys and sharp ridges.
Danube River
The flight often parallels the blue artery of Europe, crossing it near Budapest or Vienna.
Frankfurt Skyline
Depending on the landing direction, the right side often gets a direct view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Main River.
The right side is consistently the cooler side of the plane on this northwest heading, away from the direct southern sun. It offers the best chance to see the Black Sea coast and the urban centers of Eastern Europe. During the landing phase at FRA, the right side is frequently positioned for a better view of the financial district towers if landing from the east.

The left side faces south/southwest for the majority of the flight. On daytime flights, be aware that direct sunlight can be intense and may cause glare on the window. This side is ideal for spotting the distant Mediterranean horizon and the northern edges of the Alps during the final hour of flight.
