Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Frankfurt. The right side wins overall. The Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay departure view is genuinely spectacular, and during the transatlantic crossing the right side faces south, giving daytime views of the Azores if routing passes near them. On descent into Frankfurt the right side sees the Odenwald forest and Heidelberg area, which is pleasant if less dramatic than the city view on the left.
