KUN β HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for spotting the Berlin metropolitan area and the dramatic, vineyard-covered curves of the Moselle Valley during the final approach into Hahn.
Baltic Coastal Views
On clear days, the distant northern horizon reveals the silhouette of the Baltic Sea coastline.
Berlin Area
The massive urban footprint of the German capital is often visible as a major landmark to the north.
Elbe River
A significant crossing of one of Central Europe's major waterways near the city of Magdeburg.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the prominent Brocken peak.
Moselle Valley
Spectacular views of the winding Moselle river and its steep-sloped vineyards during the descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over Western Europe. The descent into Hahn is particularly scenic on this side as the aircraft maneuvers near the Moselle River. Ensure your window is clear for the final 15 minutes of the flight to capture the vineyard landscape.
Nemunas River Loops
The winding river and dense forests surrounding Kaunas immediately after takeoff.
Central Polish Plains
Expansive agricultural landscapes and the urban sprawl of cities like ΕΓ³dΕΊ depending on the corridor.
Thuringian Forest
A long, continuous mountain range in central Germany known for its dark green canopy.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distant views of Germany's financial hub skyscrapers if the approach passes south of the city.
Rhine Gorge
UNESCO-listed section of the Rhine River featuring hilltop castles and historic towns.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare. This side is better for observing the dense industrial heart of southern Poland and the rolling hills of the German interior. Keep an eye out for the confluence of the Rhine and Main rivers just before the descent.
