Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of high-altitude landmarks, including the majestic Elburz range, the legendary Mount Ararat, and a spectacular grand finale over the snow-capped European Alps before arriving in Milan.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Elburz Mountains

Stunning views of the Alborz range, including the possibility of seeing the massive Mount Damavand peak.

🌋

Mount Ararat

A legendary view of the snow-capped dormant compound volcano near the border of Turkey and Armenia.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

Deep blue vistas where the Anatolian mountains meet the southern shores of the Black Sea.

🏔️

The Alps

Breathtaking aerial views of the high peaks and glaciers of the European Alps during the final hour of flight.

The right side is essential for witnessing the majesty of the Alps. Keep your camera ready roughly 45-60 minutes before landing. For the best lighting on Mount Ararat, morning flights are preferred as the sun illuminates the eastern face of the mountain.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Central Iranian Plateau

Dramatic arid textures and unique geological formations visible shortly after departing Tehran.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The turquoise waters and scattered islands along the Croatian coast are often visible on the southern track.

🏙️

Po Valley

The fertile agricultural heartland of Northern Italy and the meandering Po River during the final descent.

⛪

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days with a southerly approach, the distinct shape of Venice and its islands can be spotted to the south.

Opt for a left-side seat for better views of the Mediterranean and Adriatic coastlines if the flight path tracks south. In the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep window shades down to avoid glare until the sun is lower.
