Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Frankfurt to Delhi. Left side wins both departure and arrival, and during the cruise the left side also faces south giving views over the Hindu Kush and Karakoram approaches from a better angle as the route tracks southeast over Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan. Consistent advantage throughout.

During takeoff from Frankfurt Main (FRA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Frankfurt typically departs eastbound on runway 07L/07R or southbound on 18, and for a route heading southeast toward Delhi, aircraft commonly turn left after departure. The left side gives you the Frankfurt city skyline, the Main River bending through the city, and the Taunus hills to the north. Right side gets industrial areas and the airport complex itself. Notable sights include: Frankfurt Bankenviertel skyline, Main River curves, Taunus hills, Sachsenhausen district rooftops.

When landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Delhi's IGI Airport typically uses runways 28 or 29 for westerly landings, meaning the aircraft approaches from the east. On final approach heading west, the left side faces south and gives views over central Delhi — Connaught Place, Lutyens Delhi, and the Yamuna River. The right side looks north toward the suburbs and Haryana flatlands with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Yamuna River, Lutyens Delhi grid and Rajpath corridor, Connaught Place circular layout, New Delhi Railway Station.

The flight from Frankfurt Main (FRA) to Indira Gandhi International (DEL) takes Approximately 8 to 8.5 hours.

The route tracks southeast over Austria and the Alps, then across the Bosphorus and Turkey's Anatolian plateau, over the Zagros Mountains of western Iran, across the Iranian plateau and the salt deserts of the Dasht-e Kavir, then over southern Afghanistan or Pakistan's Balochistan province, crossing the Indus River valley before descending into the Punjab plains toward Delhi.
