LWO β TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Lviv International Airport (Lvov) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Carpathian Mountains and the iconic coastal approach into Tel Aviv over the Mediterranean Sea.
Central Carpathians
Deep valleys and dense pine forests of the Ukrainian and Romanian mountain ranges.
Danube River
The silver ribbon of Europe's second-longest river winding through the Balkan plains.
Bucharest Skyline
A potential view of the massive Palace of the Parliament and the urban sprawl of the Romanian capital.
Mediterranean Blue
Expansive views of the deep blue sea with occasional sightings of Greek islands in the distance.
Tel Aviv Promenade
The famous Mediterranean beaches and the modern skyline of Tel Aviv during the final banking maneuver.
The right side is the prime choice for the 'Shoreline Approach' into TLV. Most flights arrive from the west over the sea, offering a panoramic view of the entire Israeli coast. A seat behind the wing is recommended for the best photos of the coastline.
Lviv Historic Center
Aerial views of the UNESCO-listed Old Town and High Castle Park immediately after departure.
Eastern Carpathians
The rugged and forested slopes of the Romanian mountain range stretching toward the horizon.
Black Sea Glimpses
Distant views of the turquoise coastline near the border of Romania and Bulgaria.
Taurus Mountains
Snow-capped peaks and high plateaus of Southern Turkey visible before the Mediterranean crossing.
Northern Israel
The lush green landscapes of the Galilee and the rolling Judean Hills during the descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. It provides a great perspective of the inland Levant landscape as the aircraft begins its final turn toward the airport.
