Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the jagged Dolomites, the shimmering Adriatic coastline, and the legendary peak of Mount Olympus during the final descent.
Black Forest
Vast stretches of evergreen canopy and deep valleys as you head south toward the Alps.
The Dolomites
The distinct, jagged limestone spires of northern Italy are clearly visible to the south of the main Alpine ridge.
Adriatic Coast
Stunning views of the turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian and Dalmatian coastlines.
Dubrovnik
On clear days, the walled 'Pearl of the Adriatic' can be spotted near the shoreline.
Mount Olympus
The home of the Greek gods dominates the horizon to the west just before the plane turns for its final approach.
Thermaic Gulf
Beautiful views of the Aegean Sea as the aircraft glides over the water toward the runway.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal views. For the best photography of the Alps and Mount Olympus, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view. In winter, the contrast between the snowy peaks and the blue sea is particularly striking.
Hunsrück & Palatinate
Immediately after takeoff, view the dense forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Central Austrian Alps
Direct views of the High Tauern range and the snow-capped Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of the Balkan interior spanning through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Thessaloniki Cityscape
On the standard approach, you get a clear view of the city center and the iconic White Tower.
Upper Rhine Plain
Broad vistas of the industrial and agricultural heartlands of Southern Germany.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is also better for spotting the city lights of Thessaloniki if arriving after dark. Keep an eye out for the Danube river crossing if the flight path tracks slightly further north.
