Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Thuringian Forest and the iconic winding Mosel River valley during the descent into Luxembourg.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Potsdam and Wannsee

Aerial views of Sanssouci Park and the interconnected lakes of the Havel river shortly after departure.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

The dense evergreen ridges and rolling hills of central Germany's primary mountain range.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

A distant view of the 'Mainhatten' skyscrapers and the busy airport hub to the south.

🍇

Mosel River Valley

The dramatic, hairpin loops of the Mosel river lined with steep, terraced vineyards.

🇱🇺

Luxembourg Gorges

The historic fortifications and steep Alzette river valleys of the capital city during final approach.

Choose a window seat on the left for the best sunlight during morning flights. This side provides the most dramatic views of the Mosel loop descent. Look for the Thuringian ridges approximately 25 minutes after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Harz Mountains

The rugged northern German highlands, featuring the Brocken, the highest peak in the range.

💧

The Rhine River

Views of the major European waterway as it winds through the Rhineland-Palatinate region.

🌋

Eifel Volcanic Region

Unique circular 'Maar' lakes formed by ancient volcanic activity in the western landscape.

🏛️

Trier Outskirts

The periphery of Germany's oldest city and its surrounding Roman-influenced landscape.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Brocken peak early in the flight. Be aware of heavy sun glare during late afternoon flights which can obscure the view of the Eifel mountains. Check for the Rhine crossing midway through the journey.
