Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse sequence of landmarks, including the eastern Mediterranean islands, the rugged Anatolian plateau of Turkey, and a panoramic view of the Belarusian capital's outskirts during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Judean Hills

The arid, rolling landscape of central Israel visible during the initial climb.

🏝️

Cyprus

The eastern tip of the island and the distinctive Karpas Peninsula usually visible to the East.

🌋

Anatolian Plateau

The high-altitude, volcanic landscapes and salt lakes of central Turkey.

🏙️

Minsk Urban Fringe

Views of the sprawling residential districts and Soviet-era architecture on the approach to MSQ.

Choose the right side for early morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Cypriot coastline. This side is also generally better for viewing the city of Minsk if the aircraft approaches from the South.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏖️

Tel Aviv Coastline

Aerial view of the Mediterranean shoreline and the White City skyscrapers immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

Dramatic snow-capped peaks and deep valleys in Southern Turkey as the flight heads North.

🌊

Black Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue water stretching toward the European horizon.

🌲

Belarusian Lowlands

Dense pine forests and the intricate river systems of southern Belarus during the descent.

Sit on the left for the best view of the Israeli coast during the initial turn. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Turkish mountain ranges without the glare of the sun. Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Belarusian forest canopy.
