HAV → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from José Martí International Airport (Havana) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior experience as it typically tracks along the North American coastline before crossing the North Atlantic, often providing glimpses of the Canadian Maritimes and Greenland's ice caps.

Florida Keys
Initial climb provides views of the turquoise waters and coral reefs stretching from Havana toward the Florida coast.
US Eastern Seaboard
As the flight heads northeast, you can see the dense city lights of Miami, Charleston, and even New York from a distance.
Newfoundland Coast
Rugged, icy coastlines and deep fjords of eastern Canada are visible if the flight follows a northern Great Circle route.
Greenland Glaciers
On clear days, the massive ice sheets and floating icebergs of southern Greenland provide a stark, beautiful landscape.
British Isles
The first landfall in Europe often features the green fields of Ireland or the rugged cliffs of Cornwall.
English Channel
Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and the diverse coastline of Northern Europe as you approach the continent.
Most flights from Havana to Frankfurt depart in the late afternoon or evening. The left side is ideal for catching a late sunset over the Gulf Stream and, depending on the season, a spectacular sunrise over the North Atlantic or Greenland. Use a flight tracker to see if your specific flight path goes far north for the best ice views.

A vast, uninterrupted view of the deep blue Atlantic, perfect for those seeking solitude and minimal light pollution.
Stargazing
Facing south over the open ocean at night offers incredible views of the Milky Way away from city light interference.
French Coastline
Depending on the air traffic control routing, views of the Brittany or Normandy coasts may appear before entering German airspace.
Frankfurt Skyline
During the final approach into FRA, the right side often gets a direct view of the city's unique 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers.
The right side is generally less scenic due to the vast stretches of open ocean. However, it is the best side for passengers landing during the morning who want to avoid the direct glare of the sun. If the plane lands on the 25 runways, the right side offers the best view of the Frankfurt skyline and the Commerzbank-Arena.
