Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Erbil International Airport (Erbil)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, primarily due to the proximity to the high peaks of the Austrian Alps and the dramatic, rugged textures of the Taurus Mountains in Turkey.

The High Alps
Unrivaled views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Adriatic Horizon
Distatnt views of the shimmering Mediterranean and the rugged coastline of the Balkan Peninsula.
Taurus Mountains
A massive range of limestone peaks and deep canyons stretching across Southern Turkey.
Euphrates River
The historic cradle of civilization winding through the Anatolian plateau and toward the Syrian border.
Zagros Foothills
The final approach reveals the unique, folded rock layers and arid beauty of the mountains in Northern Iraq.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for the Alps. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountains. Note that the sun will be on this side for most of the flight, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for long-term viewing.

Frankfurt Skyline

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the ancient Erbil Citadel during the final approach if the aircraft lands from the south.
