Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for the iconic arrival into Punta Cana, offering prime views of the extensive coral reefs, turquoise lagoons, and the famous white-sand resort coastline during the final descent.

Bay of Biscay
Dramatic views of the French Atlantic coastline and the transition from land to the deep ocean.
Extended Sunset
Flying west against the Earth's rotation provides a prolonged and vibrant sunset over the Atlantic horizon.
Cap Cana Coastline
Aerial perspective of the exclusive marina and luxury estates as the plane turns for final approach.
Coral Reef Formations
Stunning views of the underwater reef structures that protect the shallow, calm lagoons of Punta Cana.
Bávaro Beach
A bird's-eye view of the massive hotel complexes and palm-lined beaches just before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a seat toward the back to avoid the wing. Since most FRA-PUJ flights are daytime departures arriving in the late afternoon, the left side avoids direct glare from the southern sun for much of the flight and provides the most cinematic view of the Dominican Republic's turquoise waters during the landing sequence.

English Channel
On more northern tracks, views of the southern UK coast or the Channel Islands are possible shortly after departure.
The Azores
Distant views of the volcanic peaks of the Azores archipelago in the middle of the North Atlantic.
Samaná Bay
Views of the lush, mountainous Samaná Peninsula if the flight path approaches from the north.
Cordillera Oriental
The green, rolling mountain ranges of the eastern Dominican Republic visible during the initial descent.
The right side faces north for most of the transatlantic crossing, which is ideal for photography as it avoids direct sunlight. If the flight path is slightly northern, you may catch a glimpse of the Turks and Caicos or the rugged northern shore of Hispaniola before turning toward the airport.
