Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the Mediterranean coastline and the iconic salt formations of the Dead Sea during the final approach into Amman.
Dnieper River Delta
The intricate network of waterways and wetlands where the Dnieper meets the Black Sea.
Turkish Riviera
Stunning views of the turquoise coastline near Antalya where the mountains drop directly into the Mediterranean.
The Dead Sea
An unparalleled view of the hypersaline lake's turquoise waters and distinctive white salt crusts along the shoreline.
Judean Desert Canyons
Dramatic, arid topography featuring deep wadis and sandstone cliffs during the descent into Amman.
Opt for the right side on morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent into Queen Alia International Airport, the flight path often provides a clear, sweeping view of the Dead Sea—have your camera ready as this is the flight's scenic highlight.
Black Sea Crossing
Aerial views of the deep blue Black Sea as the flight transitions from Ukrainian to Turkish airspace.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, snow-capped limestone peaks stretching across southern Turkey.
Lake Tuz
One of the world's largest hypersaline lakes, appearing as a vast white or pinkish expanse in Central Anatolia.
Sea of Galilee
The lowest freshwater lake on Earth, visible as a blue jewel in the Jordan Rift Valley.
Choose the left side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the 'golden hour' glow on the Turkish mountain ranges. This side also provides the best perspective of the Sea of Galilee shortly before entering Jordanian airspace.
