Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more diverse geographic display, including the iconic Dubai skyline upon departure, the rugged Zagros and Carpathian mountain ranges, and the vast expanse of the Black Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Downtown Dubai

Unmatched views of the Burj Khalifa and the main city skyline during the initial climb.

🏔️

Zagros Mountains

Dramatic, folded mountain ridges along the border region of Iraq and Iran.

🌊

Lake Van

The brilliant blue waters of Turkey's largest lake, surrounded by volcanic peaks.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

The picturesque transition where the Turkish mountains meet the southern shores of the Black Sea.

⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

The majestic, often snow-capped arc of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania.

🇭🇺

Great Hungarian Plain

The flat, agricultural heartland of Hungary stretching towards the horizon before landing.

This is the superior side for mountain lovers. For the best experience, choose a flight departing around midday to ensure the sun is high enough to illuminate the deep valleys of the Carpathians and the turquoise hues of Lake Van.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Jebel Ali Port

The massive industrial port and the outline of Palm Jebel Ali shortly after taking off from DWC.

🏜️

Mesopotamian Basin

The historical plains between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers across Iraq.

🌋

Central Anatolia

The unique volcanic landscapes and plateau formations of central Turkey.

🏛️

Ankara Skyline

A high-altitude view of the Turkish capital city's sprawling urban layout.

⛰️

Vitosha Mountain

The prominent mountain massif overlooking Sofia as you transit Bulgarian airspace.

🏰

Buda Hills

The scenic, forested hills of the western side of Budapest during the final descent.

Sit on this side for a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. During the landing phase at BUD, if the wind is from the north, this side often gets a sweeping view of the Danube River and the Parliament building.
