VIETLV

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred for the stunning vistas of the Aegean islands and the classic approach over the Tel Aviv coastline and Jaffa port.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Eastern Alps

Distant views of the Austrian Alps' northern fringes shortly after takeoff from Vienna.

🏝️

Aegean Archipelago

A magnificent view of numerous Greek islands like Samos and Kos dotting the deep blue sea.

🇨🇾

Cyprus South Coast

Detailed views of Limassol's port and the Larnaca Salt Lake before the final leg to Israel.

🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Expansive, uninterrupted views of the sea as the aircraft transitions toward the Levant.

🏙️

Tel Aviv Skyline

The dense cluster of skyscrapers along the Mediterranean shoreline during the final approach.

🕌

Old Jaffa

The historic clock tower and ancient port of Jaffa visible just moments before landing.

This side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. For the iconic 'Tel Aviv Shoreline' approach, ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the coast during the final bank into Ben Gurion.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Danube River

Clear views of the winding 'Blue Danube' as the aircraft departs Vienna and heads southeast.

🇭🇺

Lake Balaton

The turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake are visible while cruising over Hungary.

🏔️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged and often snow-capped peaks across Bulgaria providing a dramatic mid-flight landscape.

🏖️

Rhodes Island

Aerial perspective of the northern tip of Rhodes and the Dodecanese island chain.

🇨🇾

Kyrenia Range

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

🏙️

Haifa Bay

Industrial and natural beauty of the northern Israeli coast as you begin the final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the Black Sea coastline if the flight path tracks further east than usual. During the winter, the Balkan peaks are particularly photogenic when covered in snow.
