Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional vantage point of the Sea of Galilee and the lush landscape of the Galilee region before transitioning to the stunning blue of the Mediterranean and the northern approach into Cyprus.

Amman Cityscape
The distinctive white limestone architecture and hilly terrain of Jordan's capital right after takeoff.
The Jordan Valley
The deep rift valley and the agricultural mosaic of the 'breadbasket' of the region.
Sea of Galilee
The iconic heart-shaped freshwater lake, clearly visible against the surrounding green hills of northern Israel.
Haifa and Mount Carmel
The industrial port city of Haifa and the lush, forested slopes of Mount Carmel meeting the sea.
Larnaca Bay
Crystal clear turquoise waters and the Cypriot coastline as the plane makes its final approach.
The right side is the winner for geographic landmarks. The Sea of Galilee is the most prominent feature midway through the flight. On clear days, you can see the snow-capped Mount Hermon to the north. Sunset flights on this side offer a beautiful glow over the Mediterranean without the harsh direct sun in your eyes.

Jerusalem and Judean Hills
Aerial view of the ancient city's sprawl and the rolling limestone hills of the West Bank.
Judean Desert
The stark, dramatic transition from the fertile Jordan Valley to the arid desert landscapes.
Tel Aviv Skyline
A clear view of the modern skyscrapers and the long stretch of Mediterranean beaches as you exit the coast.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A stunning view of the salt flats near the airport, which appear pink or white depending on the season.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out immediately after takeoff; as the plane banks west, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Dead Sea to the south. During winter, look for pink flamingos at the Larnaca Salt Lake during final descent.
