Which side of the plane to sit from Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest) to Queen Alia International Airport (Amman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior vistas of the Mediterranean coastline, the entire island of Cyprus, and the dramatic geological rift of the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea during the descent.
Balkan Mountains
Dramatic ridges and deep valleys stretching across the heart of Bulgaria.
Turkish Riviera
The turquoise waters and jagged coastline near Antalya as the flight crosses into the Mediterranean.
Island of Cyprus
A stunning full-island view including the Troodos Mountains and the distinctive Kyrenia coastline.
The Dead Sea
The lowest point on Earth, recognizable by its deep blue water and white salt crusts along the shores.
Jordan Valley
The deep tectonic depression forming the border between Israel, the West Bank, and Jordan.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive sea views that are particularly breathtaking during golden hour or sunset.
This is the premier side for the approach into Jordan. As the plane descends, keep your camera ready for the Dead Sea. For evening flights, you will be treated to a sunset over the Mediterranean. During the winter, the contrast between the green mountains of Lebanon and the desert is most visible.
Bucharest Skyline
Aerial view of the Palace of the Parliament and the dense urban grid of the Romanian capital shortly after takeoff.
The Danube River
The massive natural border between Romania and Bulgaria, winding through the lowlands.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, often snow-capped peaks in southern Turkey that provide a stark contrast to the Anatolian plateau.
Central Anatolia
Unique steppe landscapes and volcanic formations visible while transiting over Turkish airspace.
Amman Suburbs
The white-stone architecture of Amman's expanding eastern neighborhoods as the plane aligns for landing.
Choose this side for morning flights to minimize direct sun glare. It is excellent for observing the vastness of the Turkish interior. Look for Lake Tuz, one of the world's largest hyper-saline lakes, which often appears bright white or pink from above.
