TLV → TAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more diverse visual experience, featuring the iconic Mount Ararat, the rugged Taurus Mountains, and the striking transition from the Caspian Sea to the vast Kyzylkum Desert.
Taurus Mountains
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks and high valleys across Southern Turkey.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped dormant volcano, often visible clearly from high altitude near the Turkish-Armenian border.
Absheron Peninsula
Views of Baku and the oil-rich coastal regions of Azerbaijan extending into the Caspian Sea.
Kyzylkum Desert
The 'Red Sand' desert of Uzbekistan, featuring vast dunes and ancient riverbeds leading toward Tashkent.
Tashkent Oasis
The sudden transition from arid desert to the lush, irrigated greenery of the Chirchiq River valley upon descent.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. Mount Ararat is the highlight, typically appearing 2 to 2.5 hours into the flight. On evening flights, this side offers a stunning golden hour over the Caspian and Central Asian deserts. Ensure a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the desert dunes during the final descent into TAS.
Mediterranean Coastline
Clear views of the Israeli shoreline and the bustling cityscape of Tel Aviv immediately after takeoff.
Greater Caucasus
Distance views of the dramatic mountain range separating Europe and Asia, often including snow-capped peaks.
North Caspian Sea
The deep blue expanse of the world's largest inland body of water as the flight crosses into Central Asia.
Ustyurt Plateau
A desolate and beautiful landscape of high-altitude desert and dramatic limestone escarpments.
Aral Sea Basin
Depending on the specific northern corridor, views of the remaining salt flats and shrinking water of the Aral Sea.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is better for spotting the high ridges of the Caucasus mountains. Keep an eye out for the unique 'tiger-stripe' patterns of the desert terrain as you enter Uzbekistan.
