TAS → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the rugged Kopet Dag mountains, the iconic snow-capped Mount Ararat, and a stunning aerial perspective of the Israeli coastline during the final approach.
Kopet Dag Mountains
Stark, rocky ridges forming the natural border between Turkmenistan and Iran shortly after takeoff.
Mount Ararat
The legendary dormant volcano and highest peak in Turkey, often visible with its permanent ice cap.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys as the flight crosses southern Turkey towards the Mediterranean.
Island of Cyprus
Clear views of the Karpas Peninsula and the rugged southern coastline of the island.
Mediterranean Seaboard
The deep blue transition from the sea to the golden sands of the Levantine coast.
Tel Aviv Shoreline
Panoramic views of the 'White City' and its famous beaches during the descent into Ben Gurion.
Choose the left side for a high probability of seeing Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. On daytime flights, the sun will be mostly behind or above you, reducing glare for photography. For the arrival, the left side typically offers a better view of the Tel Aviv skyline as planes often approach from the west over the sea and bank toward the airport.
Kyzylkum Desert
Vast expanses of red and gold sand dunes stretching across the horizon in Uzbekistan.
Baku & Absheron
The capital of Azerbaijan and its unique peninsula extending deep into the Caspian Sea.
Greater Caucasus
Distance views of the massive mountain range, including some of Europe's highest peaks like Elbrus.
Lake Van
The largest lake in Turkey, known for its striking turquoise alkaline waters and surrounding highlands.
Turkish Riviera
The picturesque coastline near Antalya, featuring steep cliffs and hidden Mediterranean coves.
TLV Final Approach
Views of the Judean Hills and the sprawling suburbs of the Gush Dan region before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for viewing the Greater Caucasus peaks to the north and the unique shape of the Absheron Peninsula. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the right side may experience significant glare from the sun. Look out for Lake Van about halfway through the journey for some of the most vibrant blue colors visible from altitude.
