Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point of the Holy Land upon departure, the rugged Greek Peloponnese, the Italian coastline, and the iconic grid layout of Barcelona on the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🕍

Jerusalem & Tel Aviv

Shortly after departure, look out for the historic sprawl of Jerusalem followed by the modern Mediterranean skyline of Tel Aviv.

⛰️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The deep bays and mountainous 'fingers' of southern Greece are clearly visible across the Ionian Sea.

🇮🇹

Calabria Coast

The 'toe' of the Italian boot, showcasing beautiful cliffs and the Strait of Messina.

🌊

Strait of Bonifacio

A glimpse of the narrow channel separating the rugged northern tip of Sardinia from Corsica.

🏘️

Barcelona City Skyline

On the standard approach to Runway 25R, this side provides a perfect view of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Familia.

Sit on the right for the highest concentration of landmarks. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for the Holy Land and during the last 15 minutes of the flight. For the best arrival views, choose a seat ahead of the wing to see the Barcelona coastline and city grid without obstruction.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌵

Negev Desert

Dramatic aerial views of the arid landscapes and craters of the southern Levant shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Southern Crete

The rugged southern coastline of Greece's largest island, featuring the Samaria Gorge region.

🌋

Mount Etna & Sicily

A distant view of Europe's most active volcano and the southern Sicilian coast.

🏖️

Balearic Islands

Stunning views of Menorca and the northern coastline of Mallorca during the descent phase.

The left side is preferable for mid-day flights to minimize direct sun glare, as the sun remains to the south. It offers the best views of the turquoise waters surrounding the Balearic Islands before the final turn toward Barcelona.
