Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Beirut city skyline and the Mount Lebanon range upon departure, followed by the scenic rugged coastline of eastern Cyprus during the approach.
Beirut Cityscape
Incredible views of the Raouche Rocks, the Corniche, and the downtown district shortly after takeoff.
Mount Lebanon Range
The dramatic backdrop of the Lebanese mountains, often snow-capped in winter months, towering over the coast.
Cape Greco
The rugged southeastern tip of Cyprus and its sea caves are often visible during the descent into Larnaca.
Larnaca Port
The bustling marina and industrial port area of Larnaca as the plane aligns with the runway.
Ayia Napa Coastline
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Cyprus's premier resort area.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. For the best clarity of the Mount Lebanon range, book a morning flight when the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the peaks and the Beirut skyline perfectly.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Levantine Sea throughout the short cruise phase.
Southern Beirut Suburbs
A view of the coastal expansion south of the airport towards Damour immediately after takeoff.
Larnaca Salt Lake
Visible just before touchdown, this seasonal lake is a famous habitat for migratory flamingos.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the short 40-minute flight, keep your window shade up as the descent starts almost immediately after reaching cruising altitude.
