FRA → HDF
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Heringsdorf Airport (Heringsdorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Frankfurt skyline upon departure and a dramatic panorama of the Stettin Lagoon and the Baltic coastline during the final approach into Heringsdorf.
Frankfurt Skyline
Unparalleled views of Germany's tallest skyscrapers shortly after takeoff from FRA.
Thuringian Forest
Deep green landscapes of central Germany stretching towards the horizon.
Berlin Skyline
On clear days, the iconic TV Tower and Berlin's urban sprawl are visible in the distance to the east.
Stettin Lagoon
The vast inland water body shared with Poland, signaling the final approach phase.
Usedom Imperial Spas
Low-altitude views of the historic piers and white sandy beaches of Bansin, Heringsdorf, and Ahlbeck.
The right side is ideal for photographers; you get the best angle of Frankfurt's skyscrapers. On approach to HDF, look for the long piers of Bansin, Heringsdorf, and Ahlbeck. Evening flights offer golden hour reflections on the lagoons.
Taunus Mountains
Lush forested ridges visible immediately after climbing out of the Frankfurt area.
Harz National Park
Look for the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, appearing to the north mid-flight.
Magdeburg and Elbe
A clear view of the Elbe river winding through the industrial and historic landscapes of Saxony-Anhalt.
Greifswalder Bodden
The expansive blue waters of the Baltic bay as the aircraft begins its descent into Usedom.
Sit on the left for views of the Harz mountains mid-flight. Best during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the Peene river winding towards the sea during the transition from mainland to island.
