Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

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.
