FRA β TLL
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (Tallinn-ulemiste International)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the diverse Baltic coastline, including the unique Curonian Spit and the Latvian capital, Riga, before a scenic approach into Tallinn.
Berlin Scape
Depending on the specific airway, the sprawling metropolitan area of Berlin is visible to the south-east.
RΓΌgen Island
The iconic white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park and the long sandy beaches of Germany's largest island.
Curonian Spit
A spectacular 98km long thin sand-dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Gulf of Riga
Excellent views of the Latvian coastline and the Daugava River winding through the city of Riga.
Estonian Archipelago
The islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa provide a beautiful mosaic of forests and coastal wetlands during the final descent.
The right side is the 'coastal side' for this route. For the best photography of the Curonian Spit and Riga, fly during midday or early afternoon to have the sun behind you. In winter, look for the unique sea ice patterns forming along the Estonian coast.
Harz Mountains
Aerial views of the Brocken, the highest peak in Northern Germany, shortly after departure from Frankfurt.
Γresund Region
On clear days, see the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden and the distant skyline of Copenhagen.
Gotland Island
The Swedish island of Gotland and the historic city of Visby are often visible across the Baltic waters.
Baltic Sea Lanes
A vast perspective of international shipping corridors with cargo vessels crossing between Scandinavia and Europe.
Sit on the left if you are flying during a summer sunset, as the sun will linger on the horizon over the Baltic Sea. It is also better for spotting the Finnish coast in the distance as you descend into Tallinn.
