FRABLL

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of major urban centers like Hamburg and iconic engineering feats like the Kiel Canal, followed by scenic coastal inlets in Denmark.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

A stunning view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers shortly after departure if the wind is from the west.

🌲

Harz Mountains

In the distance to the east, the Brocken peak and the forested Harz range are often visible.

⚓

Hamburg & Elbe

The massive port of Hamburg, the Elbphilharmonie, and the Alster lake are prominent midway.

🛳️

Kiel Canal

The world's busiest artificial waterway, slicing through the base of the Jutland peninsula.

🏞️

Vejle Fjord

The dramatic, forested inlet of the Baltic Sea that characterizes the approach into Billund.

🎢

Legoland Billund

Look down just seconds before touchdown to see the colorful original Legoland park adjacent to the airport.

The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best photography of Hamburg and the Kiel Canal, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On clear mornings, you can see all the way across to the Baltic Sea coast. Be ready with your camera as the plane lowers its gear, as Legoland is perfectly visible on the right.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏔️

Taunus Mountains

Dense forests and rolling peaks located immediately north of Frankfurt airport after takeoff.

🌳

Weser Uplands

Scenic landscapes featuring the winding Weser river and the hilly terrain of Lower Saxony.

⛵

Steinhuder Meer

Lower Saxony's largest lake, often visible as a shimmering blue expanse west of Hanover.

🏖️

Wadden Sea Coast

A distant view of the UNESCO-listed tidal flats along the North Sea shoreline.

🚜

Jutland Farmland

The meticulously organized patchwork of Danish agricultural fields as the plane descends.

Sit on the left side during evening flights to watch the sunset over the North Sea. This side is also better for avoiding direct glare during midday northbound flights. Keep an eye out for the historic town of Ribe, Denmark's oldest, during the final approach phase.
