AMM β GVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of the journey, including the southern coastline of the Mediterranean and a spectacular close-up of the Mont Blanc massif during the descent into Geneva.
Levantine Coast
Panoramic views of the Eastern Mediterranean coastline shortly after departure from Jordan.
Aegean Sea
Vast views of the deep blue waters and distant outlines of the southernmost Greek islands.
Southern Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Italian and French Alpine peaks as the flight nears the border.
Mont Blanc
Unrivaled views of Western Europe's highest peak, often visible in high detail during the descent phase.
Lake Geneva South Shore
The French side of Lac LΓ©man, featuring the Chablais Alps and the thermal town of Γvian-les-Bains.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mont Blanc. Morning flights offer the best illumination of the Alps, while evening flights provide a stunning sunset over the Mediterranean. During the final approach to GVA, the left side often sees the famous Jet d'Eau fountain if the plane lands from the northeast.
Amman Cityscape
A final look at the white-stone hills of Amman and the surrounding Jordanian desert terrain.
Turkish Riviera
Stunning vistas of the rugged Taurus Mountains meeting the turquoise waters of southern Turkey.
Venetian Lagoon
Depending on the specific airway, a distant view of the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.
Swiss Plateau
A view of the rolling hills, lakes, and urban centers of central Switzerland north of the Alps.
Jura Mountains
The dark green, forested ridges that form the natural border between Switzerland and France.
The right side is ideal for catching the varied textures of the Balkan coastline and the Swiss Jura. In the summer, this side avoids the direct southern sun, making it easier to take photos without glare. If the flight path takes a more northerly route over the Adriatic, watch for the intricate coastline of Croatia.
