ALCBRE

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side provides a superior perspective of the high Central Pyrenees peaks, the volcanic regions of central France, and a stunning distant horizon of the Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Balearic Sea

Vast blue expanses and coastal views of the Spanish coastline heading toward Catalonia.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

The highest and most dramatic peaks of the mountain range, often snow-capped even in late spring.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique volcanic landscape and plateaus of central France provide a textured terrain view.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On exceptionally clear days, the jagged white peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the eastern horizon.

🚢

Rhine River

The industrial heartland and the busy shipping lanes of the Rhine as you enter German airspace.

🌾

Lower Saxony

The flat, orderly agricultural patchwork and windmills of Northern Germany during the descent.

The most spectacular views occur roughly 45 minutes after takeoff when crossing the Pyrenees. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the engine against the backdrop of the Alps on the distant horizon. Keep an eye out for the distinct volcanic cones in the Massif Central over France.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Costa Blanca

Aerial views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters around Alicante during takeoff.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

The rugged transition from the Spanish interior to the lush green valleys of southern France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Look for the winding Loire River and the historic chateaux scattered throughout the French countryside.

🗼

Paris Silhouette

On many flight paths, the distant cityscape of Paris and the Eiffel Tower are visible to the west.

🏙️

Benelux Urbanization

Dense clusters of cities including Brussels and Antwerp as you approach the German border.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also preferable if the flight path tracks slightly east, as it offers the best chance to spot the Paris skyline in the distance approximately midway through the journey.
