Our Recommendation

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Mediterranean coast, the heart of the Pyrenees, and the dramatic descent over the Sauerland hills.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Costa Brava

Breathtaking views of the rugged Catalan coastline and turquoise Mediterranean coves.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Direct views over the high-altitude peaks near Andorra and the Mediterranean border.

🍷

Rhône Valley

Follow the path of the river through one of the world's most famous wine regions.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

Stunning limestone ridges and deep valleys marking the border between France and Switzerland.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

Clear views of Germany's 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers if the flight path tracks slightly east.

🌳

Sauerland Hills

Beautiful lush forests and rolling hills during the final approach into Dortmund.

Best for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft and avoid glare. Keep an eye on the eastern horizon over France to spot the distant snow-capped peaks of the Alps. The descent into Dortmund over the Sauerland is particularly scenic in autumn when the foliage changes color.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

Detailed views of the Eixample district grid and Sagrada Família shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the high peaks and rugged terrain near the Spanish-French border.

🌋

Massif Central

Fly over the ancient volcanic domes and green plateaus of central France.

🏰

Loire River

Aerial perspective of the winding river and the historic chateaux of the valley.

⛪

Cologne Cathedral

The iconic twin spires are often visible on the left during the descent into the Ruhr region.

Opt for a window seat ahead of the wing to capture the Barcelona urban grid. On the descent, look for the Rhine river and the distinctive spires of Cologne Cathedral. Morning flights provide excellent soft light for photography on this side.
