Which side of the plane to sit from Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean approach, showcasing the stunning transition from the rugged Taurus Mountains to the vibrant Israeli coastline and the Tel Aviv skyline.
Taurus Mountains
Jagged, snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey that provide a stark contrast to the blue sea.
Gulf of Iskenderun
The deep blue waters where the Anatolian landmass meets the eastern Mediterranean.
Cyprus Island
Visible in the distance to the west as the plane cruises over the Mediterranean Sea.
Israeli Coastline
The long stretch of white sandy beaches from Haifa down to the central Sharon plain.
Tel Aviv Waterfront
The dense skyline of the 'White City' and its Mediterranean harbor during the final banking maneuvers.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the orange glow over the Mediterranean. As the aircraft typically approaches Ben Gurion from the sea, the right side offers the best panoramic view of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
Tbilisi Skyline
Aerial views of the Mtkvari River, the Narikala Fortress, and the modern bridge architecture during takeoff.
Lesser Caucasus
Dramatic ridges and deep green valleys of southern Georgia and northern Turkey.
Mount Ararat
On clear days, the distant twin peaks of this legendary dormant volcano are visible to the south.
Sea of Galilee
The distinctive harp-shaped freshwater lake nestled in the Jordan Rift Valley during the descent.
Jordan Valley
The deep tectonic rift forming the border between Israel and Jordan, characterized by arid landscapes.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight hitting the Caucasus peaks. During the final approach from the north, this side provides a view of the Galilee region and the northern hills of Israel.
