Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Israeli coastline immediately after takeoff, followed by clear sightings of Cyprus and the dramatic mountain ranges of the Balkans before descending into the Danube valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Tel Aviv Coast

A stunning aerial view of the Tel Aviv-Yafo shoreline and the Mediterranean beaches right after departure.

🇨🇾

Cyprus Coastline

Clear views of the Akrotiri Peninsula and the city of Limassol as you pass the island to the north.

⛰️

Pindus Mountains

The rugged and often snow-dusted peaks of mainland Greece and Albania.

🌲

Balkan Interior

Dense forests and winding river valleys across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

🏰

Vienna Woods

Lush greenery and the rolling hills of the Wienerwald during the final approach into VIE airport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the Israeli coast during the initial climb. If the flight lands toward the west (Runway 29), passengers on the right might catch a glimpse of the Danube River and the Vienna city skyline in the distance.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea during the initial cruise phase.

🏝️

Greek Islands

Occasional distant views of the southern Dodecanese and the mountainous spine of Crete.

🚤

Adriatic Sea

Vibrant turquoise waters as the flight crosses from the Balkans toward Central Europe.

🏔️

Eastern Alps

Breathtaking panoramas of the Austrian limestone Alps as the aircraft enters Austrian airspace.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to experience a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean and the Alps. This side is also better for viewing the rugged southern coastline of the Greek islands if the flight path stays more southerly.
