TLV β BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, the scattered Greek islands, and a spectacular traverse over the heart of the Alps.
Tel Aviv Skyline
Aerial view of the 'White City' and the Mediterranean coastline immediately after takeoff.
Greek Archipelago
Views of Rhodes and the Dodecanese islands as the flight crosses the Aegean Sea.
Adriatic Coastline
The turquoise waters and rugged limestone cliffs of the Croatian and Dalmatian coast.
Central Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of snow-capped Austrian and Swiss peaks during the mid-flight cruise.
European Heartland
Dense urban clusters and historical landscapes of Southern Germany and Luxembourg.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is prime for Alpine views; look out about 3.5 hours into the flight. If the approach to BRU is from the east, you may catch a glimpse of the Atomium and Brussels city center during descent.
Cyprus
A clear view of the island's southern coastline and the Troodos mountain range.
Turkish Riviera
Dramatic mountainous coastlines near Dalaman and Marmaris as the plane heads northwest.
Balkan Mountains
The rolling green ridges of Bulgaria and the Serbian highlands.
Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it snakes through the continent.
The Ardennes
Lush, rolling forested hills as the flight enters Belgian airspace.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing window glare. This side offers better views of the Turkish coast and the inland Balkan geography. Watch for the Meuse river valley as you approach the Belgian border.
