BEYALG

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of Mediterranean highlights, including the coastlines of Lebanon, Cyprus, and Crete, culminating in a beautiful approach over the Bay of Algiers.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Lebanese Riviera

Clear views of the coastline heading north toward Tripoli shortly after departure from BEY.

🇨🇾

Southern Cyprus

Detailed vistas of the island's southern coast, including the Limassol port and the Troodos mountain foothills.

🇬🇷

Cretan Mountains

The dramatic snow-capped peaks and rugged southern cliffs of Crete visible across the sea.

🇮🇹

Pelagie Islands

Small volcanic outcrops like Lampedusa may be visible depending on the specific airway used across the sea.

⛴️

Bay of Algiers

A stunning panoramic view of the 'White City' (Alger la Blanche) as the plane banks toward the airport.

The right side is the 'island-spotter' side. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the northern Mediterranean islands. For the arrival in Algiers, the right side usually provides a classic view of the harbor and the city's iconic white architecture. Try to book a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the coast.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Beirut Skyline

Aerial views of the Lebanese capital, the Raouche Rocks, and the coastal urban sprawl during departure.

🏜️

African Horizon

Distant silhouettes of the North African coastline, specifically the Libyan and Tunisian shores depending on the flight path.

🌊

Central Mediterranean

Vast expanses of deep azure water, often dotted with merchant ships and tankers on major maritime routes.

⛰️

Tell Atlas Mountains

The rugged, green-tinged mountain ranges of northern Algeria appearing during the descent phase.

🏘️

Mitidja Plain

The fertile agricultural plains and suburbs surrounding Algiers visible just before touchdown.

Sit on the left for the best views of Beirut immediately after takeoff. This side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean horizon. During the final approach, look for the contrast between the Mediterranean sea and the rising Atlas Mountains.
