Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Dead Sea immediately after takeoff, followed by the stunning transition from the Levant coast to the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea and the snowy peaks of the Eastern Alps.
The Dead Sea
Witness the dramatic turquoise waters and salt formations of the lowest point on Earth shortly after departure.
Tel Aviv Coastline
A clear view of the dense urban sprawl of Tel Aviv meeting the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Aegean Archipelago
Exquisite views of the Greek islands, including the Cyclades, appearing like gems in the sea.
Eastern Alps
Breathtaking vistas of the Austrian and Slovenian alpine peaks, especially vibrant in winter months.
Prague
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible on the descent path through Central Europe.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, preventing glare. The view of the Dead Sea happens within the first 10-15 minutes, so keep your window shade up early. If flying in winter, the alpine crossing is the highlight of the mid-flight.
Amman Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'White City' built across seven hills as the plane climbs to cruising altitude.
Sea of Galilee
The heart-shaped freshwater lake in Northern Israel is a prominent landmark during the initial climb.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, jagged peaks along the southern coast of Turkey offering dramatic shadows.
Carpathian Mountains
Dense, dark green forests stretching across Romania and Slovakia.
Berlin Tempelhof
On the final approach to the Berlin area, the historic airfield and vast city parks are often visible.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. It offers better views of the inland landscapes of Eastern Europe and the Turkish highlands. Pay close attention during the last 20 minutes for a view of the sprawling German forests and Berlin's unique urban layout.
