TLV β VCE
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, capturing the rugged Greek coastlines, the breathtaking Dalmatian archipelago of Croatia, and the most iconic views of the Venetian Lagoon during the final approach.
Tel Aviv Shoreline
Immediate views of the Jaffa Port and the white skyscrapers of the Tel Aviv coast upon takeoff.
Dodecanese Islands
Aerial perspective of Rhodes and numerous smaller Greek islands scattered across the turquoise sea.
Peloponnese Coast
The dramatic, jagged mountains and deep bays of the southern Greek mainland.
Bay of Kotor
The stunning fjord-like coastal scenery of Montenegro as the plane crosses the Adriatic.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular sequence of Croatian islands including Hvar, BraΔ, and the Kornati National Park.
Venice and the Lagoon
Unmatched views of the historical city, St. Mark's Square, and the Lido if the flight approaches from the sea.
Book a window seat on the right for the best chance to see the historical center of Venice. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Croatian coast. Watch for the distinctive red roofs of the Adriatic coastal towns as the plane descends.
Eastern Mediterranean
Expansive views of the deep blue sea transition into the southern Aegean horizon shortly after departure.
North Cretan Coast
Views of the northern shores of Crete and the smaller islands of the Cyclades in the distance.
Gargano Peninsula
The prominent 'spur' of the Italian boot featuring white cliffs and the Foresta Umbra.
Apennine Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of central Italy visible across the Adriatic during the descent phase.
Po River Delta
The intricate wetlands and agricultural patterns where Italy's longest river meets the sea.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for observing the Italian mainland's geography and spotting the microstate of San Marino perched on Mount Titano during the descent.
