AMM → ORD
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (Chicago)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior due to the Great Circle route passing directly over the Greenland ice sheet and the dramatic coastline of Northern Canada.

Anatolian Plateau
Rugged mountain ranges and unique geological formations across Turkey shortly after takeoff.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Breathtaking aerial views of massive glaciers, icebergs, and deep blue meltwater rivers.
Labrador Coast
The wild, unpopulated fjords and jagged icy coastlines of Northern Canada.
Great Lakes
Expansive views of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan as the flight enters US airspace.
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery on this route, specifically the Greenland ice cap which is usually visible 6 to 8 hours into the flight. Since this flight typically departs AMM in the morning, the northern landscape will be well-lit. Check the flight map frequently as you approach the 60th parallel north to prepare for the best photo opportunities of the Arctic terrain.

Vibrant blue coastal views as the flight leaves the Levant and crosses towards Europe.
The Alps
Distant views of the snowy peaks of Central Europe depending on the specific flight corridor.
St. Lawrence River
The wide, majestic waterway that leads from the Atlantic Ocean into the heart of North America.
Chicago Skyline
A prime view of the Willis Tower and downtown skyscrapers during the final descent into O'Hare.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Atlantic as the aircraft chases the sun westward. On arrival, request a seat on this side for a chance to see the iconic Chicago skyline if the aircraft approaches from the east over Lake Michigan. Use a polarizer filter on your camera to reduce window glare during the bright transatlantic crossing.
