Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse sequence of views, including the distant Alps, the sprawl of Bucharest, and the rugged terrain of the Lesser Caucasus as you descend into Georgia.
Austrian Alps
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Eastern Alps while cruising over Southern Germany and Austria.
Bucharest
Views of the Romanian capital, including the massive Palace of the Parliament, one of the world's largest buildings.
Pontic Coastline
A glimpse of the southern Black Sea coast where the sea meets the green slopes of the Turkish and Georgian borders.
Lesser Caucasus
Rolling ridges and deep canyons of Southern Georgia become clearly visible during the descent into Tbilisi.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset colors reflecting off the Black Sea. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for the dramatic transition from the sea to the rugged Georgian highlands. This side usually offers a better view of Tbilisi's urban sprawl during the final approach.
Budapest & Danube
Clear views of the Hungarian capital and the dramatic 'S' curve of the Danube River as it cuts through the city.
Transylvanian Alps
The jagged peaks of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, offering dramatic terrain and deep green valleys.
Black Sea Horizon
A vast expanse of blue as the flight leaves the European coastline near Constanta, Romania.
Greater Caucasus Range
As you approach Tbilisi, the massive snow-capped peaks of the main Caucasus range dominate the northern horizon.
Sit on the left for the best chance to spot Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak, during the final hour of flight. In winter, the snow cover on the Carpathians is particularly striking. Morning flights on this side avoid the harshest sun glare during the eastbound journey.
