Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the European Alps during the morning transit and a spectacular approach over the Jordan Rift Valley and Dead Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

The European Alps

Glittering snow-capped peaks and glaciers across Switzerland or Austria visible during the mid-flight daylight hours.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

The turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian and Balkan coasts.

🏝️

Greek Archipelago

A panoramic view of the Aegean Sea and the scattered islands of Greece as you cross toward the Levant.

🧂

The Dead Sea

The dramatic, salt-edged shores of the lowest point on Earth visible during the descent into Amman.

🏜️

Jordan Rift Valley

The deep geological trench of the Jordan River valley that forms the border between Jordan and Israel.

Sit on the right for the most iconic landmarks. The highlight is the final 20 minutes of the flight; as the plane descends, you can often see the Dead Sea and the lights of Jerusalem in the distance. Mid-flight, the sun will be on this side, making the Alps particularly bright and clear.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏙️

Chicago Gold Coast

Excellent views of the Lake Michigan shoreline and the downtown skyline immediately after departure.

🌊

Newfoundland Coast

The rugged, fractured coastline of eastern Canada before the flight begins its Atlantic crossing.

🌌

Northern Lights

High-latitude routing over the North Atlantic provides opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis during winter months.

🏔️

Anatolian Plateau

The vast and varied terrain of central Turkey, featuring arid highlands and deep valleys.

🏛️

Amman Cityscape

A close-up view of the white limestone buildings covering the seven hills of the Jordanian capital.

Choose the left side for the best chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis during the night crossing. On arrival, this side typically faces the city center of Amman if the plane approaches from the north.
