BEG → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (Belgrade) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the scenic Aegean islands and provides a spectacular view of the Tel Aviv coastline and city skyline during the standard approach into Ben Gurion Airport.
Belgrade Confluence
Aerial view of the meeting point of the Sava and Danube rivers and the historic Kalemegdan Fortress shortly after takeoff.
Rhodope Mountains
Dramatic views of the dense forests and jagged peaks along the southern Balkan peninsula.
Aegean Archipelagos
A stunning mosaic of Greek islands including Lemnos and Lesbos surrounded by deep azure waters.
Northern Cyprus
Clear views of the Pentadaktylos (Five Finger) mountain range and the rugged northern coastline of the island.
Tel Aviv Skyline
The best perspective of the Mediterranean shoreline, high-rise buildings, and the ancient port of Jaffa during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. On the approach to TLV, the aircraft often flies parallel to the coast before turning inland, giving the left side a perfect view of the entire Israeli shoreline. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Greek coast for high-contrast island photography.
Dinaric Alps
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped mountains of Montenegro and Albania to the west.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, featuring the highest and most prominent peaks in Greece.
Athens & Piraeus
The urban sprawl of the Greek capital and the busy maritime traffic in the Saronic Gulf.
Cretan Sea
Vast stretches of the Mediterranean with occasional sightings of shipping lanes and deep-sea vessels.
Ashdod Port
One of Israel's largest cargo ports, visible during the final banking turns before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. While you miss the direct city view of Tel Aviv, you get a better look at the Greek mainland and the southern Israeli coastal plain during the final approach maneuvers. Look out for Mount Olympus approximately 45 minutes into the flight.
