TLV → ROV
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Platov International Airport (Rostov)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Caucasus Mountains and the intricate Don River delta as you approach Rostov.
Galilee & Golan
Lush green hills and the Sea of Galilee visible in the distance during the initial ascent phase.
Cappadocia Region
Unique volcanic topography and eroded 'fairy chimney' formations of central Anatolia.
Caucasus Mountains
Stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks, including the distant Mount Elbrus on clear days, while crossing into Russia.
Don River Delta
The complex network of waterways and wetlands where the Don River meets the Sea of Azov during descent.
The right side is spectacular for sunset flights as the light hits the Caucasus peaks. Be ready with a camera during the final 30 minutes of the flight for the Don River's winding channels.
Mediterranean Coastline
Panoramic views of the Tel Aviv-Yafo urban sprawl and the turquoise Mediterranean shoreline shortly after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys of the central Turkish mountain range.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude plains of central Turkey, featuring varied agricultural patterns and arid landscapes.
Taganrog Bay
The shallow, silt-heavy waters of the northeastern arm of the Sea of Azov near the flight's end.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out for the distant silhouette of the Crimean Peninsula while crossing the Black Sea if the visibility is high.
