Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Frankfurt airport operations upon takeoff, the rolling greenery of the Thuringian Forest, and often provides better lighting for photography during morning and midday flights.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
✈️

Frankfurt Airport (FRA)

Get a bird's-eye view of the massive terminal complexes and the four runways of one of Europe's largest aviation hubs.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Fly over the 'Green Heart of Germany,' a long mountain range known for its deep valleys and evergreen trees.

💧

Saale River Valley

Watch the Saale River carve through the limestone hills near the university city of Jena.

🇵🇱

Warta River Basin

During the descent into Poznań, the landscape transforms into the scenic wetlands and agricultural plains of the Warta region.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as it minimizes direct sun glare. Watch for the transition in agricultural patterns; the field structures change noticeably once you cross the border from Germany into the Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) region.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

A stunning view of Germany's only major skyscraper cluster, known as 'Mainhattan,' shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Vogelsberg Mountains

The flight path passes near this large volcanic massif, characterized by its dense forests and green highlands.

🌊

Elbe River

A clear view of the winding Elbe River as the aircraft transitions from Central to Eastern Germany.

🏭

Leipzig/Halle Region

Spot the industrial landscapes and the sprawling infrastructure of the Leipzig-Halle urban area from the cruise altitude.

Sit on the left for late afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset colors over the German plains. If the aircraft departs toward the West, the plane will loop back, providing an excellent view of the Frankfurt city center and the Main river.
