About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Sevilla (SVQ) to Frankfurt Main (FRA)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Sevilla to Frankfurt. The right side wins overall because the Sevilla departure offers genuinely spectacular views of one of Spain's most photogenic cities and the Guadalquivir. During the cruise, the right side also tracks closer to the Pyrenees as the route crosses northeastern Spain, and offers views of the Rhine Valley on descent. The Frankfurt landing view on the left is good but the city is relatively compact and the approach is over flat terrain.
