VCE β FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the historic Venice city center upon departure and the most dramatic, jagged sections of the Dolomites and the Austrian Alps during the cruise.
Venice Historic Center
The unique S-shaped Grand Canal and the iconic St. Mark's Square are often visible right after takeoff.
The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the UNESCO-listed limestone massifs, including the Marmolada and Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Grossglockner Range
Views toward Austria's highest peak and the expansive Pasterze Glacier.
Bavarian Lake District
Large alpine lakes like Chiemsee are frequently visible during the transition into German airspace.
Spessart Nature Park
One of Germany's largest contiguous mixed-leaf forests, looking vibrant during autumn or spring.
Keep your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight for Venice and the Dolomites. In winter, the snow-capped Alpine peaks are exceptionally sharp and clear. This side can be quite bright on midday flights, so polarized sunglasses are recommended.
Venetian Lagoon
Aerial perspective of the marshy islands and the intricate waterways surrounding northern Venice.
Γtztal Alps
Glaciated peaks and high-altitude ridges near the Italian-Austrian border.
Odenwald Forest
Dense, rolling green hills of south-central Germany as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Frankfurt Skyline
Depending on the landing direction, a clear view of Germany's tallest skyscrapers and the Main River.
Morning flights are best for the left side to keep the sun behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the window. On approach to FRA, a seat in front of the wing provides the clearest view of the city's banking district.
