TLV → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an expansive view of the Greek islands and the dramatic crossing of the Central Alps from a prime angle.
Mediterranean Islands
Vibrant views of Crete and the Cyclades with turquoise waters.
Balkan Coastline
The rugged, mountainous shores of Albania and Montenegro along the Adriatic.
Central Alps
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and glaciers as you cross into Central Europe.
Rhine-Main Region
Quaint German villages and dense forests during the descent into Hesse.
Alpine Glaciers
High-altitude views of permanent snowfields in the Austrian and Swiss ranges.
For the best visibility of the Alps, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Avoid seats over the wing to capture unobstructed photos of the Mediterranean coastline and the intricate patterns of the Greek archipelagos.
Tel Aviv Coastline
A stunning view of the Mediterranean shoreline immediately after takeoff from TLV.
Cyprus
The southern coast of Cyprus including Paphos and the Troodos Mountains.
Peloponnese
The wild, mountainous terrain of the Greek mainland's southern peninsula.
Bavarian Alps
Glimpses of the Zugspitze and the rolling foothills of Southern Germany.
Frankfurt Skyline
A view of 'Mainhattan' and its skyscrapers if the approach path comes from the east.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. During takeoff, keep your camera ready for a quick panoramic shot of the Israeli coast as the aircraft levels out over the sea.
