FRA β†’ VNO

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is slightly superior, offering a potential view of the Frankfurt skyline on departure from certain runways, a better angle of the stunning Masurian Lake District in Poland, and a high probability of seeing Vilnius's Old Town during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Taunus Mountains

Rolling green hills and forested ridges just north of Frankfurt shortly after takeoff.

πŸ’§

Elbe River

A major European waterway winding through the plains of Northern Germany.

πŸ™οΈ

Berlin Area

On clear days, the distant urban sprawl and TV tower of the German capital may be visible to the north.

πŸŒ…

Masurian Lake District

An incredible mosaic of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, shimmering under the sunlight.

🏒

Vilnius Old Town

The red-roofed UNESCO World Heritage site and the Neris River during the final approach.

For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Polish lakes and Lithuanian forests perfectly without glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
πŸ™οΈ

Frankfurt Skyline

Exceptional views of Germany's only major skyscraper cluster if departing toward the east.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Dense, dark green forest canopy covering the mountains of central Germany.

🏭

Leipzig Hub

Aerial view of the city and the massive logistics infrastructure of the Leipzig/Halle region.

🌾

Polish Heartland

A patchwork of traditional agricultural strips and rural villages characteristic of central Poland.

🏰

Trakai Island Castle

The famous red-brick Gothic castle surrounded by Lake GalvΔ—, visible just minutes before landing.

The right side is essential if you want a chance to see the iconic Trakai Castle during the descent into VNO. If you are flying in the morning, be prepared for significant sun glare; keep your window shade down until you reach the Polish border.
