Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Frankfurt to Miami. The right side wins overall because the Miami arrival view over Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach, and the turquoise shallow waters is one of the most visually spectacular urban approaches in the world. The Frankfurt departure on the left is solid but the scenery is more subdued. Switching to right for the bulk of the flight also means you face south over the Atlantic, which offers better light during the daytime crossing.

During takeoff from Frankfurt Main (FRA), sit on the Left side for the best views. Frankfurt's main departure runways (07L/07R heading east, or 25L/25R heading west) mean westbound transatlantic flights typically depart heading west or southwest. A left-side seat gives you views over Frankfurt city center, the Main River bends, and the Taunus hills to the north as the aircraft climbs and turns toward the Atlantic. Notable sights include: Frankfurt city center and banking district skyline, Main River bends through the city, Taunus hills to the northwest, Rhine River valley visible in the distance.

When landing at Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Miami International sits just west of downtown Miami, and aircraft typically approach from the east or northeast on runway 08L/08R or 09. A right-side seat on approach gives you the best view of Biscayne Bay, the Miami Beach barrier island, the downtown skyline, and the Florida Keys chain stretching to the southwest. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay and its turquoise shallow water, Miami Beach barrier island and South Beach, Downtown Miami skyline, Florida Keys chain visible to the southwest.

The flight from Frankfurt Main (FRA) to Miami International (MIA) takes Approximately 10 to 11 hours westbound.

The flight tracks southwest over France and the Bay of Biscay, then out over the open North Atlantic following a great circle route. Mid-flight passes south of Greenland and Newfoundland at high latitudes. As the flight descends toward Florida, the Bahamas archipelago becomes visible — Andros Island and the Great Bahama Bank with their extraordinary shallow turquoise water are clearly visible from altitude before the Florida coast appears.
