FRA → XRY
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Jerez Airport (Jerez)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the most iconic views of the Spanish interior, the city of Seville, and the spectacular final approach over the Bay of Cádiz and the white-washed towns of Andalusia.

Rhine River Meanders
Shortly after departure, catch the winding curves of the Rhine river as it flows through the German countryside.
Pyrenees Peaks
High-altitude views of the snow-capped central Pyrenees as the flight transitions from France into Spain.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the dense urban sprawl of Spain's capital and the Cuatro Torres skyscrapers are visible in the distance.
Sierra Morena Mountains
The rugged, dark ridges that form the natural border between central Spain and the Andalusian plains.
Seville Cityscape
A stunning view of the Giralda tower and the massive Seville Cathedral as the plane begins its descent into the region.
Bay of Cádiz
The turquoise waters of the Atlantic and the historic city of Cádiz sitting on its narrow peninsula during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun, which will be on the right. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the 'Pueblos Blancos' (white villages) that dot the landscape. If the plane circles for an approach from the south, you will get a panoramic view of the coastline and the Guadalete River.

Frankfurt Banking District
Great views of the 'Mainhattan' skyline if the takeoff direction is to the west or south.
Bay of Biscay Coastline
The rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the northern Spanish coast near San Sebastián and Bilbao.
Basque Pyrenees
The green, rolling western end of the mountain range where the Pyrenees meet the Atlantic Ocean.
Doñana National Park
Vast wetlands and salt marshes near the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, home to unique biodiversity.
Sherry Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the 'Albariza' chalky soil vineyards that define the Jerez landscape just before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Watch for the transformation of the landscape from the green hills of northern Spain to the golden, dry plains of the south. This side also provides a great perspective of the Doñana marshes if the flight path follows the western Andalusian coastline.
