TLV → BCN
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more diverse landscape featuring the Anatolian coast, a mosaic of Aegean islands, and a spectacular entry into Spain with views of the Catalan mountains and Montserrat.
Cyprus Coastline
The southern rugged cliffs and turquoise bays of Cyprus are often visible during the first hour.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks along the southern coast of Turkey.
Aegean Archipelago
A beautiful scattered pattern of Greek islands like Rhodes and Crete visible from high altitude.
Sardinian Highlands
The wild, mountainous interior and rocky northern shores of the Italian island of Sardinia.
Montserrat Massif
The iconic serrated mountain range of Catalonia visible as the plane maneuvers for landing.
The Right Side is preferred to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun on this westbound route. It provides the best opportunities for land-based photography. For the best experience, monitor the flight path about 60 minutes after departure to catch the Turkish coastline.
Tel Aviv Urban Area
A sweeping view of the White City and the historic Port of Jaffa immediately after takeoff.
Mediterranean Blue
Expansive, uninterrupted views of the deep azure Mediterranean Sea during the mid-flight cruise.
Balearic Islands
A birds-eye view of the northern coastlines of Menorca and Mallorca shortly before the descent.
Barcelona Port
Stunning perspectives of the massive cruise terminals and the Barceloneta beaches during the final approach.
This side is optimal for catching sunset views over the water on late afternoon flights. Watch for the Balearic Islands roughly 45 minutes before landing. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline during the descent into BCN.
