BKK → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer desert vistas, the right side is superior for the final approach into Israel, providing iconic views of the Dead Sea, the Judean Wilderness, and the city of Jerusalem before landing.

Bangkok Cityscape
A glittering view of the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok's dense skyscrapers immediately after takeoff.
Persian Gulf Glow
The distant but distinct luminescence of the UAE and Qatari coastlines across the water.
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on Earth, featuring turquoise salt pools and white mineral shores.
Jerusalem & Judean Hills
The historic golden stones of Jerusalem and the rolling hills leading down to the coastal plain.
Tel Aviv Shoreline
The Mediterranean coastline and the modern skyline of Tel Aviv during the final turn for landing.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. As the plane enters Israeli airspace from Jordan, you will typically fly directly north of the Dead Sea. For the best experience, look out the window roughly 30-40 minutes before landing. This side also avoids the direct glare of the morning sun during the final westward leg of the flight.

Deep blue waters and scattered islands visible shortly after departure from Thailand.
Mumbai Lights
The massive, bright urban sprawl of India's west coast during the nocturnal transit.
Rub' al Khali
The 'Empty Quarter' of Saudi Arabia, showcasing endless, undulating orange sand dunes at sunrise.
Gulf of Aqaba
The narrow strip of turquoise water where Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel meet.
Negev Highlands
Stark, lunar-like landscapes and the unique geological formation of the Ramon Crater.
Choose the left side if you want to see the vastness of the Arabian Peninsula's deserts. Since most flights are overnight, the left side will catch the first light of the sun as you cross over Saudi Arabia. It is also excellent for spotting the Red Sea resorts of Eilat and Aqaba during the descent.
