FRA β TIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa (Tirana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the turquoise Adriatic coastline and the stunning Dalmatian archipelago, which is one of the most scenic stretches of water in Europe.
Search flights from FRA to TIA
Austrian & Julian Alps
Breathtaking views of the high peaks as the flight path crosses from Bavaria into Slovenia.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The highlight of the trip, featuring dozens of white limestone islands like BraΔ and Hvar set in deep blue water.
Coastal Croatia
Bird's-eye views of historic coastal cities such as Zadar and Split nestled against the coastline.
Bay of Kotor
The incredible fjord-like winding bay in Montenegro, surrounded by sheer mountain cliffs.
Albanian Riviera North
The transition from the Adriatic to the Ionian Sea views as you approach the coastal plains of Albania.
The right side (Seat F or K) is the clear winner for coastal enthusiasts. Ensure you are on this side for mid-morning flights when the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the turquoise water and white cliffs of the islands perfectly. Keep your camera ready as you pass Split for the best island photography.
Book Hotels in Tirana
Frankfurt Skyline
Immediate views of the Main river and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Germany's financial capital.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Aerial perspective of the high peaks of the Austrian Alps, including glaciers and rugged ridges.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic, karst limestone mountain range stretching across Bosnia and Herzegovina into Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in the Balkans, marking the border between Montenegro and Albania, visible just before descent.
Mount Dajti
The 1,613-meter peak that overlooks Tirana, providing a dramatic backdrop as the plane banks for landing.
Sit on the left (Seat A) for the best mountain perspectives of the Balkan interior. This side is particularly good for late afternoon flights as it avoids the direct glare of the sun setting over the Adriatic. Watch for the intricate river patterns in the valleys of Bosnia.
