Berlin to Amman is 1,819 miles (2,927 km), a flight of about 4 hours 35 minutes.
Right-side seats score higher (3.5 vs 2.5) due to superior landing scenery: the Dead Sea and West Bank escarpment provide dramatic geological features and visual variety that outweigh the modest takeoff advantage. The cruise phase over the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern terrain is comparable on both sides, but the approach to Amman from the right offers genuinely distinctive and recognizable landmarks.
