FRA → HAJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most diverse scenery, including the iconic Frankfurt skyline upon departure and potential views of the Harz Mountains mid-flight.
Frankfurt Skyline
Unbeatable views of Germany's only true skyscraper district shortly after takeoff from FRA.
Vogelsberg
The massive, shield-shaped landscape of Europe's largest extinct volcanic massif.
Kassel & Bergpark
View of the city of Kassel and the Hercules monument sitting atop the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.
Harz Mountains
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Brocken, northern Germany's highest peak, is visible.
Choose the right side for the 'Mainhattan' skyline view during departure. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the turn toward the north often circles the city center. This flight is very short, so stay alert as cruising altitude is reached quickly.
Taunus Mountains
The Großer Feldberg and the forested ridges of the Taunus range immediately north of Frankfurt.
Kellerwald-Edersee
A UNESCO-listed national park featuring ancient beech forests and the winding Edersee reservoir.
Weser Uplands
The rolling hills of the Weserbergland, characterized by charming river valleys and timber-framed villages.
Steinhuder Meer
On a northern approach to HAJ, the region's largest lake is often visible to the northwest.
Sit on the left if you want a better view of the rural landscapes of Hesse. During morning flights, this side is shaded, making it easier to take photos without glare from the sun.
