BCN → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
Dominates with the spectacular departure over Barcelona's urban grid and the highest, snow-capped peaks of the Central Pyrenees.
Barcelona Grid
A stunning aerial view of the Eixample district's octagonal blocks and the Sagrada Familia.
Pic d'Aneto
The highest point of the Pyrenees, often snow-capped even in early summer.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the distant silhouettes of historic French chateaux.
Greater Paris
On exceptionally clear days, the distant urban sprawl of the French capital is visible to the east.
The Midlands
The industrial heritage and sprawling urban centers of central England's heartland.
Liverpool Waterfront
A perfect view of the Anglican Cathedral and the historic Royal Liver Building on final approach.
The right side is superior for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. On departure from BCN, if the plane takes off on Runway 24L, the right side provides the most iconic view of the city center. On arrival at LPL, this side usually faces the city skyline during the final approach to Runway 27.
Catalan Coastline
Views of the Mediterranean beaches of Sitges and Vilanova shortly after departure.
Western Pyrenees
The lush, green slopes where the mountain range begins to taper towards the Atlantic.
Aquitaine Basin
The vast forests and geometric vineyard layouts of the Bordeaux wine region.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue waters of the Atlantic as the flight crosses towards the English Channel.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The dramatic, rugged mountain peaks of North Wales visible during the descent.
The Wirral Peninsula
Coastal views of the peninsula separating the Dee and Mersey estuaries.
Opt for the left side on evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and the Irish Sea. This side also offers a great perspective of the Welsh coastline approximately 20 minutes before landing.
