Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Italian Adriatic coast, the rugged Balkan mountain ranges of Albania and Greece, and a stunning perspective of the Tel Aviv coastline upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Milan & Po Valley

Aerial view of the Lombardy capital and the vast agricultural plains immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Adriatic Riviera

Clear views of the Italian coastline including cities like Rimini and Ancona as the plane heads southeast.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The dramatic, craggy peaks of the Ceraunian Mountains along the Albanian coast.

🏝️

Greek Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of the Ionian islands and potentially the Cyclades depending on the specific airway.

🏙️

Herzliya & North Tel Aviv

A close-up view of the Israeli shoreline and upscale coastal neighborhoods during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side provides the best chance to spot the Greek mainland and the northern sprawl of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
⛰️

Central Apennines

The snow-capped peaks of central Italy visible as you traverse the peninsula.

🌊

Ionian Sea Expanse

Deep blue Mediterranean waters between the 'boot' of Italy and the Greek islands.

🏝️

Crete

The large, mountainous silhouette of Greece's largest island often visible to the south.

🌅

Mediterranean Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side offers front-row seats to spectacular golden hour colors.

🏗️

Tel Aviv Skyline

Panoramic views of the high-rises and the Old City of Jaffa just before landing at Ben Gurion.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the landing approach into TLV, this side often sees the iconic curve of the Jaffa coastline and the main city skyline.
