FRATAS

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the majestic peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, including Mount Elbrus, and a dramatic descent over the golden dunes of the Kyzylkum Desert toward the Tien Shan foothills.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Carpathian Mountains

The rugged, arc-shaped mountain range stretching across Central and Eastern Europe.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

The deep blue waters of the Black Sea as the flight path moves toward the Caucasus.

🏔️

Caucasus Range

Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks, including Mount Elbrus, the highest point in Europe.

🏙️

Baku Peninsula

The Absheron Peninsula and the oil rigs of the Caspian Sea near Azerbaijan's capital.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

Vast stretches of red sand dunes and ancient caravan routes through Central Asia.

⛰️

Tien Shan Foothills

The rising 'Celestial Mountains' that signal your final approach into Tashkent.

Sit on the right for the best mountain views. Aim for a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to capture Mount Elbrus clearly. Since the route travels east, morning flights will have more glare on this side, while afternoon flights offer excellent direct lighting on the Caucasus peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Aerial views of Germany's financial hub and the Main River immediately after takeoff from FRA.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Dense evergreen landscapes along the border of Germany and the Czech Republic.

💧

Volga River Delta

The intricate network of waterways where Europe's longest river meets the Caspian Sea.

🏜️

Ustyurt Plateau

A vast, high-altitude desert wasteland in Kazakhstan with unique clay and salt formations.

🏚️

Aral Sea Basin

The hauntingly beautiful remains and salt flats of the receding Aral Sea shoreline.

Choose this side if you are interested in the environmental geography of the Aral Sea. For late-afternoon departures, the lighting on the left provides softer shadows over the Kazakh steppes, making it ideal for photography.
