Right-side seats capture the dramatic Dead Sea departure and the Jordanian highlands—the flight's most visually distinctive segment. The landing approach over Flanders is less dramatic, but right seats still offer views of the Meuse valley and approach corridor.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Mediterranean coast near Lebanon/Syria border, then proceeds northwest over the Mediterranean Sea itself for roughly 2.5 hours. You'll pass south of Cyprus (visible as a landmass if flying at optimal altitude and weather permits), then cross into European airspace over Greece. The Alps become visible on the right (north) side during the final 90 minutes of flight as you approach Belgium from the southeast, appearing as a distant snow-capped ridge on the horizon. The Rhine valley and Rhineland appear on the right during final descent into Brussels.
