Which side of the plane to sit from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut) to Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for its spectacular views of the Lebanese mountain ranges immediately after departure and the dramatic, often snow-capped Taurus Mountains in Turkey.

Mount Lebanon
Immediate views of the rugged mountain range that defines the Lebanese landscape right after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Majestic views of the high peaks of Southern Turkey, which are particularly beautiful when covered in snow.
Anatolian Plateau
A bird's eye view of the unique geological formations and rural landscapes of central Turkey.
Danube River
A clear crossing of the historic river that serves as the natural border between Bulgaria and Romania.
The right side is best for morning flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, highlighting the texture of the Taurus Mountains. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from BEY for the best mountain shots.

Beirut Skyline
A stunning perspective of the Lebanese capital and its Mediterranean coastline during the initial ascent.
Mediterranean Expanse
Vast views of the deep blue sea transition into the turquoise waters near the Turkish coast.
Aegean Islands
Depending on the specific airway, you may spot Greek islands such as Rhodes shimmering in the distance.
Black Sea Coast
As the flight nears the Balkans, the Bulgarian coastline and the city of Varna are often visible.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side is also excellent for viewing the lights of the Bulgarian coast during evening flights.
