Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains, including Mount Elbrus, and provides a superior perspective of the Dead Sea and the Jordan Rift Valley during the approach to Amman.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Caucasus Range

Breathtaking views of the Great Caucasus mountains, with the twin peaks of Mount Elbrus standing out prominently.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

The deep blue waters of the Black Sea meeting the lush green foothills of the Georgian and Turkish coastlines.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

Rugged, limestone ridges and deep valleys stretching across southern Anatolia as you cross into the Levant.

💧

The Dead Sea

During the descent into Amman, look for the shimmering, turquoise saline waters of the lowest point on Earth.

🏛️

Amman Seven Hills

The iconic white limestone architecture of Amman sprawling across the mountainous landscape during final approach.

Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caucasus peaks. This side is significantly better for the descent phase, as flight paths into AMM frequently bank in a way that showcases the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea to the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Moscow Sprawl

Aerial view of the vast Moscow metropolitan area and the surrounding dense forests shortly after departure.

🌊

Volga River

The massive, winding artery of the Volga river system visible as you head south over central Russia.

⛰️

Mount Ararat

On clear days, the legendary snow-capped volcanic cone of Ararat is visible near the Turkish-Armenian border.

🏜️

Mesopotamian Plains

The vast, arid landscapes of the Syrian Desert and the transition into the Fertile Crescent.

Sit on this side for early morning departures to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the Russian plains. It is also the better side for viewing the lights of small Russian provincial cities if flying at night.
