Frankfurt Skyline
Panoramic views of 'Mainhattan', the only significant cluster of skyscrapers in Germany, during the descent.
Book a window seat in the front of the aircraft to avoid wing obstruction. This flight is exceptionally short (approx. 35-45 minutes), so keep your window shade up from the moment of departure. If the flight lands toward the east (Runway 07), the left side provides the most direct view of the city center.
