Rogaland Coastline
Dramatic views of the rugged Norwegian coast and scattered islands immediately after takeoff from Sola.
Jutland Peninsula
The sandy west coast of Denmark is often visible across the North Sea on clear days.
North Frisian Islands
Excellent views of Sylt, Amrum, and the unique Wadden Sea tidal flats as you enter German airspace.
Hamburg Metropolitan Area
On the descent, you can often spot the Elbe River and the distant sprawl of Germany's second-largest city.
Frankfurt Skyline
If the plane approaches from the north or east, this side provides the iconic view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. If landing on Runway 25 (the most common direction), this side is essential for seeing the city center skyscrapers. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.

Frankfurt Airport Layout
A great view of the massive airport complex and Terminals 1 and 2 just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. It offers a great view of the airport infrastructure during taxiing. In winter, look for snow-capped peaks in the Harz or Taunus ranges if visibility is high.
