BEY β EVN
Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the legendary Mount Ararat during the final approach into Yerevan, which is widely considered the highlight of this flight route.
Mount Lebanon Range
Stunning aerial perspectives of the Qadisha Valley and the snowy peaks of the Cedars region.
Euphrates River
Cross over the massive turquoise reservoirs of the AtatΓΌrk Dam, one of the largest engineering feats in Turkey.
Mount Ararat
The towering, snow-capped twin peaks of Greater and Little Ararat dominate the skyline during the descent into EVN.
Yerevan Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Pink City' and its unique radial architecture as the plane lines up for landing.
This is the essential side for first-time visitors. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates Mount Ararat perfectly. Ensure you sit clear of the wing (rows 1-10 or 20+) to have an unobstructed view of the mountain peaks during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
Levantine Coast
Breathtaking views of the Beirut shoreline and the Mediterranean horizon immediately after departure.
Taurus Mountains
The rugged and snow-dusted limestone peaks of southern Turkey provide a dramatic landscape mid-flight.
Mount Aragats
As you enter Armenian airspace, look for the four peaks of this massive volcanic massif to the north.
Homs and Hama
Clear views of the Orontes River and the historic urban landscapes of central Syria.
Choose this side during late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the Armenian Highlands and Mount Aragats, though you will miss the iconic view of Mount Ararat on arrival.
