FRA → FMO
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Frankfurt skyline immediately after takeoff, followed by the scenic Rothaar Mountains and a better angle for the historical city of Münster during approach.

Frankfurt Skyline
A world-class view of 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers, the only significant cluster of its kind in Germany.
Taunus Mountains
Fly directly over the Großer Feldberg, the highest peak of this forested range north of Frankfurt.
Sauerland Highlands
See the 'Land of a Thousand Mountains,' including the ski slopes of Winterberg and the Kahler Asten peak.
Möhne Reservoir
Spot the massive, serpent-like reservoir which is a major landmark in the Ruhr water management system.
Münster City Center
During the northern approach, view the St. Paulus Dom and the Prinzipalmarkt's historic gabled houses.
This is the 'skyline side' for departures from FRA's runways 07C/R or 25C/R. For the best lighting, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Taunus mountains and the Sauerland valleys. Because this flight is exceptionally short (approx. 35-45 minutes), stay alert as the aircraft will reach its cruising altitude and begin its descent almost immediately.

View the twin state capitals situated at the picturesque confluence of the Rhine and Main rivers.
Limburg an der Lahn
Look for the distinct seven-towered St. George Cathedral perched above the Lahn river valley.
Westerwald Range
Dense green forests and volcanic plateaus stretching across the border of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.
Münsterland Parklands
The final descent offers a mosaic of agricultural fields, traditional farmsteads, and flat pasture lands.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the winding Rhine river in the distance during the initial climb. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white limestone quarries near Lägerdorf as you cross into North Rhine-Westphalia.
