BRU → BEY
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Lebanese coastline and the dramatic Mount Lebanon range during the final descent into Beirut, along with great views of the Central European mountains.
Brussels Departure
Aerial views of the European Quarter and the suburban landscape of Flemish Brabant shortly after takeoff.
Tyrolean Alps
Glacial peaks and deep valleys of the Austrian and German Alps as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Balkan Interior
The rugged and wild terrain of the Dinaric Alps crossing through Bosnia and Montenegro.
Northern Cyprus
The Pentadaktylos (Kyrenia) mountain range stretching across the northern coast of the island.
Beirut & Mount Lebanon
Spectacular views of the Beirut skyline, the Mediterranean shoreline, and the snow-capped Mount Lebanon peaks during descent.
For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight; the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Lebanese mountains as you land. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the iconic view of the city jutting into the sea.
Western Alps
Clear views of the highest European peaks, potentially including the Mont Blanc massif depending on the specific airway.
Adriatic Sea
The sparkling blue waters separating the Italian peninsula from the Balkan coast.
Greek Archipelagos
A mosaic of Ionian and Aegean islands scattered across the deep blue Mediterranean.
Southern Cyprus
Views of the Troodos Mountains and the coastal cities of Limassol and Larnaca.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive sea views and stunning light play, especially beautiful during sunrise or sunset flights.
The right side is ideal for those who enjoy vast maritime vistas and island spotting over Greece. However, during the final approach into BEY, you will mostly see the open sea until the very last moments before touchdown.
