Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the Burgundy vineyards and a superior view of the unique Chaîne des Puys volcanic range in central France.
Vosges Mountains
Fly parallel to the rounded summits and glacial lakes of the French Vosges range.
Burgundy Wine Region
Intricate patchworks of world-renowned vineyards stretching across the Côte d'Or.
Chaîne des Puys
The stunning UNESCO-listed line of 80 extinct volcanoes, including the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Airbus Assembly Plant
Aerial views of the massive Airbus factories and 'AeroConstellation' site during final approach.
The right side is the star of the show for geological enthusiasts. The Chaîne des Puys volcanoes appear approximately 50 minutes into the flight. For the best photography of the Burgundy landscape, mid-afternoon flights provide the best shadows and contrast.
The Black Forest
Lush green canopy and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald region shortly after departure.
Alpine Horizon
Panoramic views of the distant Swiss and French Alps to the south-east on clear days.
Massif Central
Direct views over the rugged, ancient granite plateaus and deep valleys of central France.
Pyrenees Vista
On the final descent, the snow-capped Pyrenees range often appears on the southern horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best distant horizon views of the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic terrain of the Massif Central.
