LHR β TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Swiss Alps and provides the iconic coastal view of Tel Aviv upon arrival.
Bernese Alps
Spectacular views of the Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks as you traverse Swiss airspace.
Venice Lagoon
On clear days, the distinctive 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the surrounding islands are visible.
Dalmatian Coast
The rugged coastline of Croatia featuring thousands of limestone islands in the Adriatic.
Greek Archipelago
Aerial views of the scattered islands of the Aegean Sea, including Rhodes and the Cyclades.
Island of Cyprus
Passing over the northern or southern tip of the island before the final leg across the sea.
Tel Aviv Shoreline
The ultimate highlight: the 'White City' skyline and Mediterranean beaches during the final descent.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left side (Port). On daytime flights, the sun will be on the right side of the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography of the Alps and the Israeli coast without window glare. Ensure you are awake for the final 20 minutes of the flight for the coastal approach.
Paris Basin
Distant views of the French capital and the winding Seine River shortly after takeoff.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often stands out prominently to the south.
Mount Vesuvius
Views of the famous volcano near Naples and the sweeping arc of the Italian Tyrrhenian coast.
Crete
The long, mountainous silhouette of Greece's largest island stretching across the Mediterranean.
Levantine Sea
Deep blue vistas and maritime traffic approaching the Suez Canal entry points.
The right side (Starboard) is excellent for mountain lovers wanting a glimpse of Mont Blanc. However, because the flight path is southeasterly, the right side will face the sun for the duration of the flight, which may necessitate closing the window shade to avoid heat and glare.
