VOL โ HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Nea Anchialos Airport (Nea Anghialos) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea to the snow-capped peaks of the High Alps and the winding Rhine River.
Pagasetic Gulf
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of the circular gulf and the lush Pelion Peninsula.
Dalmatian Coast
Stunning views of the Croatian archipelago, including the distinct shapes of islands like Braฤ and Hvar.
Julian Alps
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks as the flight crosses from Slovenia into Austria.
Lake Constance
A massive freshwater expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible just before entering German airspace.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley
On the descent, look for the UNESCO-listed gorge featuring numerous medieval castles and the Loreley Rock.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the Croatian coastline. During the final descent into HHN, the left side usually provides a clear view of the Rhine's sharp bends and cliffside vineyards.
Mount Olympus
Shortly after departure, look right to see the legendary home of the Greek gods, the highest peak in Greece.
Pindus Mountain Range
The 'spine of Greece' offers rugged terrain and deep green valleys early in the journey.
Hohe Tauern
Deep views into the Austrian Alps, including glaciers and some of Central Europe's highest summits.
Frankfurt Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, the distant 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers may be visible on the horizon.
Hunsrรผck Mountains
The densely forested low mountain range surrounding the Hahn airport during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers, offering a direct view of Mount Olympus early on. In winter, this side catches the morning sun, making the snow-covered Austrian peaks glow. Use a polarising filter if taking photos to reduce the atmospheric haze over the Balkan interior.
