Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?

The Right Side is preferred for its spectacular approach into Tel Aviv, offering panoramic views of the Israeli Mediterranean coastline and the Taurus Mountains in Turkey during the cruise phase.

Black Sea Crossing
The deep blue expanse of the Black Sea as the aircraft bypasses restricted airspace to the east.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys in Southern Turkey before reaching the Mediterranean.
Israeli Coastline
A stunning view of the Mediterranean shore, passing over Netanya and Herzliya during the descent.
Tel Aviv Skyline
The dense high-rise buildings and white architecture of 'The Non-Stop City' and its famous beaches.
Ashdod Port
One of Israel's main cargo hubs visible just south as the plane turns for its final approach to Ben Gurion.
The right side is unbeatable for the final 15 minutes of the flight. As the plane descends over the Mediterranean, you get a front-row seat to the entire Israeli coast. If flying in the late afternoon, this side provides a beautiful sunset over the sea, though glare can be intense.

Belarusian Highlands
Dense forest coverage and the rolling hills of the Minsk Upland immediately after takeoff.
Pontic Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of northeastern Turkey as the flight crosses from the Black Sea.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, arid landscape of central Turkey, featuring unique geological formations and salt lakes.
Sea of Galilee
On certain southern approach patterns, the freshwater lake is visible in the distance to the east.
Sit on the left for morning departures to have the sun behind you. This side offers better views of the inland Turkish terrain and the eastern edge of the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the transition from the lush Black Sea coast to the dry Anatolian interior.
