FRAHAN

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Caucasus and the northern Himalayan range during sunrise, providing a more dramatic transition from the high-altitude peaks to the lush valleys of Northern Vietnam.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Caucasus Mountains

Aerial views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks spanning Georgia and Russia.

🌊

Caspian Sea Coast

The northern shoreline where the vast inland sea meets the Central Asian steppes.

🏔️

The Hindu Kush

Dramatic, sharp-edged mountain ridges across Afghanistan and Pakistan.

🏔️

Northern Himalayas

Distal views of the world's highest peaks, often visible above the clouds during dawn.

🐉

Red River Delta

Intricate network of rivers and green rice paddies as you approach Hanoi.

FRA-HAN flights often depart in the afternoon or evening. The left side is ideal for catching the sunrise over the Himalayas and Northern Vietnam. This side also stays in the shade for most of the morning descent, reducing window glare for photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🏔️

The Alps

Early flight views of the European mountain range shortly after departure from Frankfurt.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

Beautiful views of the Turkish coastline and the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.

🏜️

Iranian Plateau

Stunning desert patterns and salt flats with deep orange and brown hues.

💧

Indus River

The massive, meandering river system cutting through the plains of Pakistan.

🌳

Indochinese Jungles

Dense, undulating green canopies over Laos and Myanmar before entering Vietnam.

The right side is excellent for early flight views of Central Europe. However, keep in mind that the morning sun will be directly on this side during the final hours of the flight, which can make the cabin quite warm and the window view overly bright.
