Search flights from LIN to FRA
Milan & Po Valley
Immediate views of the Milanese skyline including the Unicredit Tower and San Siro Stadium as you climb north.
Monte Rosa Massif
The second-highest peak in the Alps and its massive glaciers are visible to the west shortly after takeoff.
Bernese Oberland
A stunning view of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the plane crosses into Swiss airspace.
Black Forest
Crossing into Germany, the dark, dense canopy of the Schwarzwald provides a lush green contrast to the rocky peaks.
Middle Rhine
Occasional views of the winding Rhine River and the rolling hills of the Pfalz region during the descent.
For the best photography of the Alps, choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the southern faces of the mountains. Try to sit well ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the jagged peaks of the Bernese Oberland.

The rugged heart of the Swiss Alps, featuring deep valleys and winding mountain roads.
Lake Constance
The massive Bodensee marks the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
Stuttgart Region
Industrial landscapes of southern Germany, including major automotive hubs and the Neckar river valley.
Frankfurt Skyline
If landing on runways 25L/R, you get a direct view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Commerzbank Tower.
The right side is superior for lake enthusiasts; keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes for Lake Como. On approach into Frankfurt, this side usually offers a better angle of the city's unique high-rise financial district if the wind is from the west.
