Which side of the plane to sit from Berbera Airport (Berbera) to Aden Adde International Airport (Mogadishu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route because it offers views of the Gulf of Aden shortly after takeoff and provides an spectacular perspective of the Indian Ocean coastline and Mogadishu's iconic waterfront during the final descent.
