Nile Delta Contrast
Observe the stark biological boundary where the vibrant green vegetation of the delta meet the lifeless sands of the Sahara desert.
Dalmatian Coastline
Enjoy a breathtaking sequence of turquoise waters and over a thousand white-stone islands along the coast of Croatia.
Austrian Alps
Take in the majestic, snow-capped vistas of the Hohe Tauern range as the flight crosses into Central Europe.
Rhine-Main Transition
View the dense forests and rolling hills of the German landscape as the plane prepares for its final descent.
For morning departures, the left side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Look out for the Nile Delta within the first 30 minutes of flight. During winter months, the snow coverage on the Alps is more visually impressive on this side due to the sun's angle in the south. Check your flight path; if the plane approaches Frankfurt from the east, you will have a perfect view of the airport's layout before touchdown.

Sinai Mountains
See the rugged, reddish-brown mountain ranges of the Sinai Peninsula across the Gulf of Suez shortly after takeoff.
Aegean Archipelago
Fly over the deep blue Mediterranean with views of iconic Greek islands like Crete and the scattered Cyclades.
Lake Balaton
Spot the distinct turquoise-green water of Central Europe's largest lake located in western Hungary.
Frankfurt Skyline
On the final approach, the high-rise financial district known as Mainhattan is often visible on this side of the aircraft.
The right side is ideal for catching the morning sun reflecting off the Red Sea at departure. If you are flying in the late afternoon, this side will offer a view of the sun setting over the European continent. Keep a map app open to identify the specific Greek islands as they pass by quickly. If the airport is landing from the west, the right side often gets a spectacular view of the downtown Frankfurt skyscrapers.
