FRA → BLR
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic folded geology of the Zagros Mountains in Iran and potential views of the Alps during the initial stages of the flight, provided the southern corridor is used.
The Austrian Alps
Snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys visible if the flight path tracks slightly south of Munich.
Istanbul & Bosphorus
The iconic waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Marmara, marking the edge of Europe.
Zagros Mountains
Exceptional views of the 'folded' mountain ranges in Iran, resembling a giant crumpled carpet.
Arabian Sea Coast
The transition from the deep ocean to the coastal plains of Western India during the descent.
Bangalore Outskirts
The sprawling industrial and residential lights of North Bangalore and Yelahanka during the final approach.
On the typical afternoon departure from FRA, the right side provides the best sunset views over the Middle East. The Zagros Mountains are the absolute highlight of this route; their unique geological folds are best appreciated from the right window between 5 to 7 hours into the flight. Note that most FRA-BLR flights land after midnight, so the Indian landscape will primarily be a display of city lights.
Carpathian Mountains
The rugged, forested ridges of Romania and Ukraine visible shortly after departure from Frankfurt.
The Black Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the aircraft transitions from European to Asian airspace.
Caucasus Mountains
Stunning views of Mount Elbrus and the high-altitude peaks separating Georgia and Russia.
Caspian Sea
The northern coastline of the world's largest inland sea, often appearing with turquoise shorelines.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunrise if you are on a flight departing FRA late in the evening. For the standard afternoon departure (like LH754), this side avoids the direct, harsh glare of the setting sun over Central Europe and Iran. Keep your window shade open during the first 4 hours to see the Caucasus range.
