YYZ → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the European Alps during mid-flight and the most scenic approach into Tel Aviv over the Mediterranean coastline.
Toronto Skyline
Immediate views of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower if departing on southbound runways.
The European Alps
The absolute highlight, featuring snow-capped peaks of Switzerland and Austria.
Adriatic Sea
Deep blue waters and the stunning, island-dotted coastline of Croatia.
Aegean Archipelago
Countless Greek islands scattered like gems across the Mediterranean Sea.
Tel Aviv Shoreline
Unmatched views of the 'White City' and the Mediterranean beaches on final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps and the Tel Aviv coast. Most flights arrive in the morning or early afternoon; the right side will have the sun behind it on approach, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Israeli coastline.
St. Lawrence Estuary
Watch the massive river widen into the Gulf of St. Lawrence as you leave Canada.
Newfoundland Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged Canadian Shield and cliffs before the ocean crossing.
British Isles
Often provides views of the Irish coastline or the southern tip of England.
Central European Plains
Geometric farmlands and historic cities across France and Germany.
Judean Mountains
Distant views of the Jerusalem hills as the plane aligns for its final approach.
The left side is excellent for early flight views of the Canadian Maritimes. Since this is an eastbound flight, expect sunrise on this side during the crossing, which can be quite bright; keep your window shade partially closed if you plan to sleep through the Atlantic portion.
