Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Aegean islands, a clear view of Cyprus, and the dramatic descent over the Israeli coastline and the Dead Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🇦🇹

Austrian Alps

Stunning views of the southern Alpine peaks during the initial climb out of Vienna.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A breathtaking mosaic of Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.

🇨🇾

Cyprus

The entire island of Cyprus often comes into view as the aircraft transits the Eastern Mediterranean.

🏙️

Tel Aviv Coastline

The dense urban landscape of the Israeli coast meets the sea, marking the final turn toward Jordan.

🌊

The Dead Sea

The absolute highlight; the shimmering, salt-rimmed shores of the lowest point on Earth during the descent.

🏜️

Judean Desert

The stark, martian-like landscape of the desert canyons just before crossing the Jordan River into Amman.

Book a window seat on the right for the iconic Dead Sea view during the final 20 minutes of flight. Afternoon flights offer stunning golden-hour lighting over the Mediterranean, though you may need to lower the shade if the sun is directly on your side. In winter, the desert colors are more vibrant after rare rains.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🇭🇺

Lake Balaton

The largest lake in Central Europe, appearing as a long turquoise ribbon shortly after departure from Vienna.

🇷🇸

Belgrade and the Danube

The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers is clearly visible as the flight path crosses over Serbia.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged ridges and deep valleys stretching across Bulgaria provide a dramatic landscape mid-flight.

🇹🇷

Turkish Mediterranean Coast

Views of the indented coastline and high Taurus mountains as the plane transitions from the Aegean toward Cyprus.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides consistent views of the Eastern European plains and the Balkan interior. Watch for the lights of Sofia or Istanbul in the distance on night flights.
