FRA β MSQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the skyline of Frankfurt upon departure and the picturesque lake regions of northern Poland before the descent into Minsk.
Frankfurt Mainhattan
Direct views of the financial district's skyscrapers and the winding Main River immediately after takeoff.
Harz Mountains
Distant views of the Brocken and the dense forested plateaus of central Germany's highest range to the north.
PoznaΕ Cityscape
Clear visibility of the historic Old Town and the Warta River as the flight traverses central Poland.
Vistula River
The serpentine curves of Poland's longest river provide a high-contrast landmark mid-flight.
Minsk Northern Districts
Views of the distinctive Soviet-era urban planning and modern high-rises on the approach to MSQ.
Book a window seat in the late afternoon to capture the golden hour light hitting the Polish plains. In winter, this side provides the best views of the snow-covered Masurian Lake District to the far north. Avoid seats directly over the wing for better ground visibility of the Frankfurt skyline.
Spessart Forest
One of Germany's largest contiguous areas of mixed leaf forest visible during the initial climb.
Leipzig/Halle Region
View of the major logistics hubs and the industrial landscape of eastern Germany.
Oder River Border
The natural waterway marking the international boundary between Germany and Poland.
Warsaw Skyline
A distant but impressive view of the 'Palace of Culture and Science' and surrounding skyscrapers.
Belarusian Taiga
Endless stretches of deep green pine and birch forests characteristic of the Belarusian landscape.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the morning to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for observing the industrial transition from Western to Eastern Europe. Keep an eye out for the bright lights of Warsaw during night flights, which usually appear to the south of the flight path.
