Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
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.
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.
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.
