Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the Alpine foothills, the rugged Greek islands, and the iconic approach into Tel Aviv along the Mediterranean coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Austrian Alps

Spectacular views of the snow-capped peaks in the distance to the south-west as you cross Central Europe.

💧

The Danube River

Aerial perspective of Europe's second-longest river snaking through the Hungarian plains.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of Greek islands like Rhodes and Karpathos scattered across the turquoise sea.

⛰️

Troodos Mountains

The rugged, pine-forested central massif of Cyprus visible during the mid-flight overwater segment.

🏖️

Tel Aviv Shoreline

The primary highlight: the white beaches and skyscrapers of Tel Aviv as the plane turns for its final approach.

🚢

Jaffa Port

The ancient stone harbor of Jaffa is clearly visible just before the wheels touch down at Ben Gurion.

The right side is essential for the scenic 'loop' often performed over the Mediterranean before landing at TLV, providing a full panorama of the Israeli coast. For afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare; keep your window shade partially down until the descent begins.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Prague Cityscape

Aerial views of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava River shortly after departure.

⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

The dramatic, forested ridges of the Eastern Carpathians stretching through Romania.

🏙️

Bucharest

The sprawling urban layout of the Romanian capital, including the massive Palace of the Parliament.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

Distances views of the deep blue Black Sea coastline as the flight crosses Bulgaria.

🏔️

Kyrenia Mountains

The sharp limestone ridges of Northern Cyprus visible during the Mediterranean crossing.

🌆

Beirut Coastline

On clear days, the Lebanese capital is visible to the east during the final descent into Israel.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for spotting the architectural density of Eastern European cities. During the final approach to TLV, watch for the lights of the Galilee and the West Bank mountains if flying at night.
