Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to Lviv International Airport (Lvov)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more dramatic perspective of the rugged Taurus Mountains after leaving the Mediterranean and provides the best views of the Danube Delta and the Carpathian Mountain range during the descent into Ukraine.
Cyprus Shoreline
Aerial views of the Akamas Peninsula and the turquoise waters of the Levantine Sea shortly after departure from Larnaca.
Western Taurus Peaks
Snow-capped summits and deep limestone canyons of the Turkish southern coast as the flight crosses into Anatolia.
Western Black Sea Coast
The rugged coastline where the Balkans meet the sea, with distant views of the Bulgarian and Romanian littoral zones.
Danube Delta
The intricate network of channels and wetlands where Europe's second-longest river meets the Black Sea in Romania.
Carpathian Mountains
Dramatic views of the Eastern Carpathians' ridgeline and forested slopes as the aircraft enters Ukrainian airspace.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Taurus Mountains roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight. On clear days, the descent into Lviv provides spectacular views of the Carpathian peaks to the southwest; a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the landscape perfectly.
Lake Tuz
One of the world's largest hypersaline lakes, appearing as a vast white and pink expanse in Central Anatolia.
Ankara Region
The sprawling urban landscape of Turkey's capital city visible from high altitude as the flight traverses the plateau.
Central Black Sea
A long stretch of deep azure waters during the crossing between the Turkish coast and the Crimean peninsula.
Moldovan Highlands
The rolling hills and extensive vineyard patterns of Moldova and Eastern Romania visible during the mid-flight segment.
Lviv Approaches
The patchwork of Galician farmland and the historic outskirts of Lviv during the final approach path.
The right side is excellent for spotting Lake Tuz, which is a unique geographic feature best seen mid-morning when the sun reflects off the salt crust. Keep an eye out for the Crimean Peninsula in the distance over the Black Sea, though it may be far on the horizon depending on the specific airway used.
