KRR → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most scenic descent, featuring views of the Mediterranean coastline, the island of Cyprus, and the iconic skyline of Tel Aviv during the final approach.
Black Sea Crossing
The transition from the Russian mainland into the vast blue expanse of the Black Sea.
Cyprus Coastline
Often visible to the west, showing the jagged edges of the island's eastern peninsula.
Tel Aviv Skyline
A stunning view of the Mediterranean's 'White City' with its modern high-rises and bustling streets.
Israeli Riviera
The golden sands of Herzliya and northern Tel Aviv during the low-altitude approach.
Old Jaffa
The ancient port city visible just moments before the final turn toward Ben Gurion Airport.
For the best experience, book a right-side window seat for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the approach into TLV, the plane typically flies parallel to the coast, making this side perfect for photography of the city.
Greater Caucasus Range
Distant views of the snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Russia and Georgia.
Mount Erciyes
A massive dormant stratovolcano visible while cruising over the Anatolian Plateau in Turkey.
Taurus Mountains
The dramatic, rugged mountain chains of southern Turkey before the flight reaches the sea.
Adana and Mersin
Sprawling urban views of these major Turkish industrial and port cities near the coast.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to minimize sun glare. It provides a better perspective of the volcanic topography of central Turkey and the deep ridges of the Taurus range.
