MSQ → BEY
Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (Beirut)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean coastline, the central Anatolian plateau, and the iconic Beirut city skyline during the final approach over the sea.
Black Sea Horizon
Catch glimpses of the vast blue expanse of the Black Sea as the flight path traverses Turkey.
Anatolian Plateau
Observe the unique, arid terrain and salt lakes of central Turkey from high altitude.
Beirut Waterfront
The classic approach to BEY often involves a turn over the sea, offering a panoramic view of the Corniche and city center.
Mediterranean Coastline
Follow the turquoise shoreline of the Levant as the aircraft aligns for its final descent.
Book a window seat on the right for evening flights to witness the sun setting over the Mediterranean. During the final approach into Beirut Rafic Hariri International, this side provides the most iconic views of the city's dense urban fabric meeting the sea.
Minsk Outskirts
View the structured suburban layout and dense Belarusian forests immediately after takeoff from MSQ.
Taurus Mountains
Cross over the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Anti-Taurus range in southern Turkey.
Mount Lebanon
Spectacular views of the limestone ridges and cedar-dappled slopes as the plane descends toward the coast.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Turkish highlands. It offers a great perspective of the Lebanese mountain range which parallels the coast, providing a sense of the country's unique geography.
