Our Recommendation

Right Side Highlights

💧

Danube River

The plane frequently follows the path of the Danube, revealing its intricate bends through Hungary and Serbia.

🏙️

Belgrade

Clear views of the Serbian capital located at the historic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.

🌊

Mediterranean Coast

A long stretch of turquoise water as you approach the Levant from the northwest.

🏖️

Tel Aviv Beaches

A stunning perspective of the sandy Mediterranean coastline and the modern skyline of Tel Aviv.

⚓

Ancient Jaffa

The historic stone architecture of Jaffa is highly visible as the aircraft banks for its final approach into Ben Gurion.

The right side is the premium choice for the 'classic' landing into Tel Aviv. During the descent, the plane usually banks over the sea, providing a full-frame view of the coastline. Sunset flights are particularly spectacular on this side.

🏔️

Carpathian Mountains

Views of the rugged Southern Carpathian peaks in Romania shortly after takeoff from Budapest.

🏙️

Sofia Cityscape

The flight path often passes near the Bulgarian capital, offering views of its urban layout and Vitosha Mountain.

⛰️

Taurus Range

Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks in southern Turkey before crossing the Mediterranean.

🏝️

Cyprus Island

The northern coastline of Cyprus often appears as a distinct landmass amidst the deep blue of the sea.

🌅

Galilee Region

On northern arrival routes, you may spot the Sea of Galilee and the rolling hills of northern Israel.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. It offers better views of the inland topography of the Balkans and the Anatolian peninsula.
