FRA → LJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic and direct view of the high Alpine peaks, including the Zugspitze and the main ridge of the Hohe Tauern, before a scenic descent over the Julian Alps into Slovenia.
Search flights from FRA to LJU
Frankfurt Skyline
Excellent views of Germany's only major skyscraper cluster immediately after takeoff from FRA.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak is often visible in the distance as the plane heads south toward the Alps.
Hohe Tauern Range
The glaciated peaks of the Austrian Central Alps, including views toward the Grossglockner.
Triglav National Park
A stunning panorama of Slovenia's highest mountain, Triglav, and the surrounding Julian Alps on the approach to Ljubljana.
The right side is superior for viewing the highest peaks of the Alpine chain. During the descent into Brnik (LJU), the plane often turns, giving this side a perfect angle of Mt. Triglav. For winter flights, the snow-covered Julian Alps under a low afternoon sun are spectacular. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the high-altitude glaciers.

Spessart Nature Park
Dense, ancient forests of central Germany visible shortly after departure from Frankfurt.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large lake with its famous islands is a major landmark mid-flight.
Berchtesgaden Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks near the German-Austrian border, including the Watzmann massif.
Kamnik–Savinja Alps
The jagged peaks marking the northern entry into Slovenian airspace during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you want to see the flatter Bavarian plains transition into the sharp verticality of the Steiner Alps. For morning flights, the lighting on the northern faces of the mountains is particularly crisp. Look out for the city of Salzburg nestled in the mountains about 40 minutes into the flight.
