Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for its prolonged views of the Croatian islands and the Greek archipelago before the Mediterranean crossing.
