PUYHHN

Which side of the plane to sit from Pula Airport (Pula) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the Istrian coastline immediately after takeoff, followed by a traverse over the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps and the scenic Rhine Gorge during descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Istrian Coastline

Stunning views of the Brijuni Islands and the historic coastal towns of Rovinj and Poreč shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Julian & Austrian Alps

Direct views of Mount Triglav and the glaciated peaks of the High Tauern range in Austria.

🚤

Friedrichshafen

Spot the Zeppelin hangars on the north shore of Lake Constance as you cross into German airspace.

🏰

Rhine Gorge

A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring dozens of medieval castles perched above the river during descent.

✈️

Frankfurt Skyline

On specific arrival patterns, the distant skyscrapers of Frankfurt's financial district are visible to the east.

The right side is superior for coastal photography during departure from Pula. For the most dramatic Alpine scenery, look out approximately 20-30 minutes into the flight. During the descent into Hahn, keep your camera ready for the castle-heavy stretches of the Rhine River.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distant silhouette of Venice and its surrounding islands can be spotted across the Adriatic.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Dramatic views of the jagged limestone peaks in the Italian Alps as the plane heads northwest.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive view of the western end of the lake, including the city of Konstanz and Mainau Island.

🌲

Black Forest

Aerial views of the dense, dark evergreen canopy stretching across southwestern Germany.

🍇

Moselle Valley

Steep, terraced vineyards and the winding loops of the Moselle River during the final approach to Hahn.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side provides a better angle for spotting the southern German urban landscapes and the lush greenery of the Hunsrück region. Choose a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Alpine lakes.
