Which side of the plane to sit from Odessa International Airport (Odessa) to Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for its sweeping views of the Anatolian plateau, the striking turquoise waters of Lake Van, and the spectacular folded ridges of the Zagros Mountains during the descent toward the Gulf.
