Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring a panoramic view of the Frankfurt skyline shortly after takeoff, the dense Thuringian Forest, and the rugged Ore Mountains along the German-Czech border.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The cluster of 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers is visible to the south about 10 minutes into the flight.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

A long, continuous ridge of dense spruce forests and traditional German villages in the heart of Germany.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The Erzgebirge range forms the dramatic natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

🏭

Silesian Industrial Basin

The fascinating landscape of cooling towers, mines, and urban sprawl of the Upper Silesian metropolitan area.

Ideal for morning flights to see the terrain illuminated, though the sun will be on this side. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from Hahn to catch the Frankfurt financial district in the distance.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏛️

Marburg Castle

Spot the Landgrafenschloss sitting atop the hill in this historic university city as you head east.

✈️

Leipzig/Halle Airport

A bird's-eye view of one of Europe's largest cargo hubs with its unique taxiway bridges over the highway.

🌊

Oder River Valley

Lush wetlands and winding river channels marking the crossing into Polish territory.

🏘️

Wrocław Cityscape

The historical center of the 'City of a Hundred Bridges' is often clearly visible during the initial descent.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and clearer views of the historical layout of Polish cities. It is also the better side for spotting the Harz Mountains in the far distance on clear days.
