IAS → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Iaşi Airport (Iasi) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally preferred for the iconic final approach into Tel Aviv, where passengers are treated to a sweeping view of the Israeli coastline, urban skyline, and the historic Port of Jaffa.
Balkan Mountains
Fly over the central mountain spine of Bulgaria, featuring deep green valleys and jagged ridges.
Turkish Coastline
Distant views of the winding Aegean coast and the many small islands scattered near the Turkish mainland.
Mediterranean Sunsets
The perfect vantage point for watching the sun dip below the horizon on late afternoon or evening flights.
Tel Aviv Beachfront
The most famous view of the route, showcasing the continuous stretch of white sand and the city's modern skyline.
Ancient Jaffa
Clear view of the historic Old City of Jaffa and its ancient harbor during the final seconds of the descent.
The right side is the prime choice for landings at Ben Gurion. Most approaches circle from the sea, giving these seats a front-row view of the entire Tel Aviv coastline. Ensure your camera is ready about 15 minutes before landing, and choose this side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the water.
Iaşi Panorama
A beautiful view of the Palace of Culture and the Seven Hills of Iaşi immediately after departure.
Black Sea Coast
As the plane heads south over Bulgaria, catch views of the western Black Sea coastline and its resort towns.
Taurus Mountains
Stunning aerial vistas of the snow-capped or rugged peaks of the Taurus range in southern Turkey.
Cyprus Horizon
The eastern coastline and capes of Cyprus are often visible as the plane transits the Mediterranean.
For morning flights, the left side keeps you away from direct sunlight, making it easier to photograph the Turkish mountains and the Black Sea. Keep an eye out for the Anatolian plateau's unique colors during the mid-flight segment.
