POZ → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the best chance to see the iconic Frankfurt 'Mainhattan' skyline during the final descent and landing phase, alongside views of major German urban centers like Leipzig.

Lusatian Lake District
A massive complex of artificial lakes created from former open-cast coal mines near the Polish-German border.
Leipzig Cityscape
Excellent views of the Red Bull Arena and the massive Monument to the Battle of the Nations as you pass over Saxony.
Harz Mountains
On clear days, the Brocken peak can be seen rising to the north of the flight path.
Frankfurt Skyline
The ultimate highlight; look for the cluster of skyscrapers known as Mainhattan during the final approach, especially when landing from the east.
Choose the right side for the best urban views. If the airport is using runways 25L/R (westward landing), the right side offers an unobstructed view of Frankfurt's skyscrapers. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography without glare.

Distant views of the mountain range forming the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Thuringian Forest
A long, continuous stretch of dense forest and rolling hills visible as you cross central Germany.
Wartburg Castle
If the flight path stays south, look for this historic UNESCO site perched on a hill near Eisenach.
Main River Bends
The winding loops of the Main River become prominent as the aircraft begins its low-altitude approach into Hesse.
The left side faces south during the westbound flight. For morning flights, this side will be very bright with direct sunlight. It is the better choice for viewing the rugged terrain of the Thuringian highlands and the Spessart forest. In autumn, the foliage colors in these regions are spectacular from above.
