Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Alps and the stunning approach over the Mediterranean coastline of Tel Aviv.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Clear views of the Main river and the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys of the Eastern Alps.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The intricate network of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian shoreline.

🇬🇷

Aegean Islands

A bird's-eye view of the Cyclades and other Greek island chains scattered in the blue sea.

🏢

Tel Aviv Beachfront

On the standard approach, you get a direct view of the white sands and modern skyline of Tel Aviv.

For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the left side keeps the sun behind you for clearer photography. The final 15 minutes of the flight are the highlight as the plane aligns with the Israeli coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏔️

Central Alps

Views of the high-altitude glaciers and the rugged terrain of the Swiss and Austrian border.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Expansive views over the interior mountain ranges of Bosnia and Serbia.

🏺

Rhodes Island

The flight path often passes directly near or over the historic Dodecanese islands.

🌊

Deep Mediterranean

Vast, uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean horizon as you transition from Europe to Asia.

🏜️

Judean Hills

During the final descent, look for the rolling hills leading toward Jerusalem to the east.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the warm glow of the setting sun over the Mediterranean. During the winter months, the visibility over the Alps is often crisper on this side due to the angle of light.
