Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Yerevan to Athens. Right seats capture the dramatic Ararat departure and maintain better views of the Aegean island chains (Sporades, Cyclades) during the cruise phase as the aircraft tracks southwest over the Aegean. While left wins on landing, the takeoff spectacle and mid-flight Aegean views give right the edge overall.

During takeoff from Zvartnots (EVN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats capture the Ararat massif immediately after departure. Zvartnots typically departs eastbound (runways 04L/04R), so right-side passengers get direct views of the snow-capped peaks rising dramatically from the Ararat Plain as the aircraft climbs. Notable sights include: Mount Ararat (5,137m, the iconic twin-peaked volcano on the Armenia-Turkey border), the Ararat Plain stretching south toward the Turkish border, Lake Sevan visible to the northeast at altitude, the Gegham Mountains forming the eastern skyline.

When landing at Athinai (HEW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats offer superior views during the descent into Athens. Aircraft typically approach from the north on runway 03L/03R, so left-side passengers see the Saronic Gulf, Attica coastline, and the Acropolis/Hymettus Mountains as the aircraft descends toward the airport south of the city. Notable sights include: The Saronic Gulf with its island-dotted waters, the Attica Peninsula coastline with Athens sprawling across the plain, Mount Hymettus (1,026m) to the east of the city, the Acropolis visible as a small rocky outcrop within the urban area.

The flight from Zvartnots (EVN) to Athinai (HEW) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Aegean Sea after clearing the Turkish coast. Notable visible features include the Sporades Islands (Skiathos, Skopelos) in the northern Aegean, the Cyclades island chain (Mykonos, Delos, Naxos) in the central Aegean appearing as small rocky outcrops, and the Greek mainland coast with Mount Pelion visible to the west. The Aegean's deep blue water and scattered white-hulled ferries create a distinctive maritime landscape. On clear days, the Turkish coast near Izmir remains visible to the east during the early cruise phase.
