Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Frankfurt to Muscat. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise over Turkey, Iran, and the Arabian Peninsula, the left side also faces south giving better views of the Zagros Mountains of Iran and the Persian Gulf coastline as the route descends toward Oman. Right side is largely over open water or featureless terrain for much of the cruise.

During takeoff from Frankfurt Main (FRA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Frankfurt typically departs southeast on runway 25C/25R heading, then turns south toward the route. The left side gives you a clear view over Frankfurt city center, the Main River bends, and the Taunus hills to the north. Right side faces industrial areas and the airport complex itself. Notable sights include: Frankfurt skyline and Main River bend, Taunus hills to the north, Rhine River valley visible to the west, Sachsenhausen district south of the Main.

When landing at Seeb International (MCT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Muscat's Seeb Airport typically lands from the northeast on runway 26, meaning the aircraft approaches from the Gulf of Oman over the coast. The left side faces south toward the Al Hajar Mountains and Muscat city, while the right side looks north over open water. The dramatic contrast of the Al Hajar range meeting the coast is the defining visual of this approach. Notable sights include: Al Hajar Mountains rising sharply from the coastal plain, Gulf of Oman coastline, Muscat urban sprawl along the narrow coastal strip, Batinah coastal plain.

The flight from Frankfurt Main (FRA) to Seeb International (MCT) takes Approximately 6 hours 30 minutes to 7 hours.

The route crosses the Alps or their southern foothills over Austria, then tracks over the Balkans or Turkey depending on routing. Over Turkey the Taurus Mountains are visible. The route then crosses into Iran over the Zagros Mountain ranges — a vast corrugated landscape of parallel ridges — before crossing the Persian Gulf or the Arabian Sea coast into Oman. The Dasht-e Kavir desert of central Iran and the barren Makran coast may also be visible depending on exact routing.
