TLLFRA

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Baltic coastline, the Estonian archipelago, and a more scenic approach into Frankfurt over the Main river valley.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Baltic Sea Coast

Sparkling blue waters and the jagged, scenic coastline of the Baltic Sea during the first half of the trip.

🏝️

Estonian Islands

Excellent bird's eye views of the large islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa shortly after takeoff.

⚓

Gdansk Bay

Views of the historic port city of Gdansk and the unique Hel Peninsula sandbar in Northern Poland.

🚢

Hanseatic Ports

Passing over or near the historic maritime hubs of Rostock and Wismar along the German coast.

🥨

Main River Valley

The winding path of the Main River leading directly into the busy aviation hub of Frankfurt.

This is the best side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Baltic Sea. Keep your camera ready roughly 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Estonian islands. On the final approach into FRA, this side typically offers a clear view of the airport's massive terminal complex and cargo city.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌲

Estonian Wilderness

Aerial views of the dense pine forests and expansive bogs of Southern Estonia immediately after departure.

🏙️

Riga Vista

A distant view of the Daugava River and the spire-filled skyline of the Latvian capital.

🌾

Polish Hinterland

Vast agricultural mosaics and rural landscapes stretching across the heart of Central Europe.

⛰️

Thuringian Forest

Rolling green hills and dense woodlands as the flight enters central Germany's mountainous regions.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The impressive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are often visible on the final descent if landing from the east.

Sit here if flying in the morning to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the distinct bend of the Daugava River about 20-25 minutes into the flight. During winter months, the snow-covered Polish plains create a stark and beautiful geometric landscape.
