MAD → AMM
Which side of the plane to sit from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean's most iconic volcanic features and the unique geography of the Dead Sea rift during the final descent.
Mount Etna
The snow-capped peak and smoking crater of Europe's most active volcano on Sicily.
Crete Mountains
The dramatic White Mountains (Lefka Ori) stretching across the largest Greek island.
Southern Cyprus
Views of the Limassol coastline and the Troodos mountain range in the distance.
The Dead Sea
The stark turquoise and salt-rimmed shores of the lowest point on Earth.
Judean Desert
The dramatic transition from the Mediterranean green to the arid, golden desert canyons.
Sit on the right for the highlight of the trip: Mount Etna and the descent over the Jordan Valley. Be aware that on morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or be prepared to lower the blind temporarily. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the Dead Sea's unique salt formations.
Costa del Azahar
Clear views of the Spanish coastline near Valencia as the plane leaves the mainland.
Mallorca
Aerial perspective of the largest Balearic Island, including the Tramuntana mountain range.
Sardinian Coast
The northern, rugged cliffs and turquoise bays of the Italian island of Sardinia.
Greek Archipelago
A dense cluster of Cycladic islands appearing as white dots in the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Tel Aviv Skyline
Visual of the modern skyscrapers and Mediterranean beaches of Israel's central coast.
Choose this side if you prefer seeing the variety of the Greek and Italian coastlines. For evening flights, you will enjoy a softer, cooler light that is perfect for photography without the harsh southern glare.
