Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Pyrenees mountains shortly after takeoff and the potential for a distant view of the French Alps across the Rhone Valley.
Barcelona Port
Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the busy industrial and cruise port during departure.
High Pyrenees
Dramatic aerial views of the snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France, including the area near Andorra.
Massif Central
Fly over the volcanic heart of France with views of ancient craters and the Auvergne region.
Meuse River Valley
Follow the winding path of the Meuse river as it snakes through the border region of Belgium and the Netherlands.
Dutch Polders
Intricate patterns of geometric fields and canals typical of the North Brabant region during the approach.
This side is ideal for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft. The Pyrenees are the absolute highlight and appear roughly 15 to 20 minutes into the flight. On exceptionally clear days, look far to the East over France to spot the distant white peaks of the Swiss and French Alps.
Montserrat Massif
Unique serrated mountain peaks located just northwest of Barcelona, visible during the initial climb.
Ardennes Forest
Expansive green landscapes of the rolling Belgian hills as you cross from France into the Benelux region.
Brussels Metropolitan Area
Depending on the arrival corridor, the dense urban landscape of the Belgian capital is often visible to the west.
Sit in the front or rear of the plane to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of Montserrat. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the French countryside. Keep an eye out for the distinctive layout of Antwerp as the plane begins its final descent into Eindhoven.
