Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Mediterranean coastline and the iconic Tel Aviv skyline during the final descent and approach into Ben Gurion Airport.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Danube River

The winding 'Blue Danube' as it cuts through the plains of Hungary and Serbia.

⛰️

Balkan Peaks

Rugged and remote mountain ranges across Bulgaria and the Southern Balkans.

🏝️

Rhodes and the Dodecanese

Greek islands dotting the deep blue Aegean and Mediterranean waters as you head southeast.

🏙️

Tel Aviv Shoreline

The spectacular white-sand beaches and modern skyscrapers of the Tel Aviv-Yafo waterfront.

⚓

Old Jaffa

One of the world's oldest ports visible as a distinct stone outcrop just before the wheels touch down.

Sit on the right for the most iconic arrival experience. If landing from the west (the most common path), you will track parallel to the Israeli coast, providing a front-row seat to the Mediterranean beaches. Afternoon flights on this side offer a stunning sunset over the water as you approach the Levant.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

High Tatras

Dramatic jagged peaks and glacial lakes along the border of Poland and Slovakia shortly after departure.

🌲

Carpathian Mountains

Dense forests and winding valleys as the flight path traverses central Romania.

🌊

Turkish Coastline

Beautiful views of the Turquoise Coast near Antalya before heading out over the Mediterranean Sea.

🏘️

Sharon Plain

The lush agricultural heartland and urban sprawl of central Israel during the final landing phase.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding for spotting the snow-capped Taurus Mountains in Turkey during the winter months. Watch for the distinct change from the green landscapes of Europe to the more arid tones of the Middle East.
