Frankfurt departures on runway 25L/25C head westward, and the left side gives you a clear view south over the Main River valley and the Frankfurt skyline as you bank northwest.

Notable sights include: Frankfurt Bankenviertel skyline, Main River curve through the city, Taunus hills to the north, Sachsenhausen district south of the river.

The route tracks northwest over the Rhineland-Palatinate region, crossing the Rhine River near Koblenz or Bonn, then over Belgium and the flat lowlands of Flanders, before crossing the North Sea coast near Antwerp or Bruges and making a short sea crossing over the southern North Sea to the Thames Estuary. No significant mountain ranges are crossed. The Rhine crossing near Koblenz where the Moselle joins it is the most visually distinctive mid-flight feature.
