TLV → LWO
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Lviv International Airport (Lvov)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Turkish Taurus Mountains and the scenic approach over the Carpathian foothills into Western Ukraine.
Tel Aviv Shoreline
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Jaffa port immediately after takeoff from Ben Gurion.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks of southern Turkey, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Aegean Horizon
On clear days, the distant blue expanse of the Aegean Sea and its scattered islands are visible to the west.
Carpathian Mountains
The lush, rolling ridges of the Eastern Carpathians as the flight enters Western Ukrainian airspace.
Lviv City Center
A high-altitude view of the UNESCO-listed historic center during the final descent from the west.
Sit in the front half of the cabin to avoid the wing obstructing your view of the mountains. Early morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Turkish landscape and the Carpathians with warm, golden light without causing glare on your window.
Galilee & Haifa
Aerial views of the northern Israeli landscape, including Mt. Carmel and the green hills of the Galilee.
Cyprus
A full view of the island of Cyprus appearing like a jewel in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Black Sea Crossing
The transition from the Turkish coastline into the vast blue of the Black Sea, often dotted with cargo ships.
Ukrainian Steppes
The distinct geometric patterns of Ukraine's fertile agricultural heartland, vibrant yellow in late summer.
The right side is perfect for seeing the sun rise over the Black Sea on the earliest departures. During the approach to Lviv, keep an eye out for the Dniester River's winding path through the plains of southern and central Ukraine.
