Search flights from FRA to CUN
Greenland Icecap
Stunning views of massive glaciers, fjords, and icebergs depending on the day's North Atlantic Tracks.
Newfoundland Coast
The rugged, rocky, and often snow-dusted coastline of Atlantic Canada.
Cape Cod
The distinctively hooked peninsula of Massachusetts extending into the Atlantic Ocean.
Florida Everglades
The vast, swampy wilderness of southern Florida visible as the plane crosses the peninsula.
Cancun Hotel Zone
The famous '7' shaped island of resorts and white sand beaches during the final descent into CUN.
The right side is generally superior for scenery; it avoids direct glare from the sun for most of the trip and provides a chance to see the spectacular Arctic landscapes of Greenland. For the best view of the Cancun Hotel Zone, check the landing direction; typically, the right side offers the most iconic view of the turquoise lagoon and beach strip.

Southern England
Views of the English Channel and the patchwork fields of the southern UK counties.
US East Coast
Distant views of major metropolitan areas like New York City and Philadelphia during the coastal transit.
Outer Banks
The long, thin barrier islands of North Carolina stretching into the Atlantic.
Bahamas Shallows
Brilliant turquoise water patterns and coral reefs visible as you bypass the Florida coast.
Choose the left side if you enjoy watching the sunset, as this westward flight often aligns with the sun's descent. This side also offers better views of the urban sprawl of the American Eastern Seaboard and the transition into Caribbean blue waters.
