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.

Taurus Mountains

Cross over the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Anti-Taurus range in southern Turkey.
