BCN → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the Barcelona cityscape during takeoff and a higher probability of spotting the Paris skyline and Eiffel Tower during the approach into Orly.
Barcelona City
A breathtaking view of the Sagrada Familia, the Agbar Tower, and the city's unique grid layout.
Costa Brava
The rugged Mediterranean coastline and turquoise bays near the Spanish-French border.
Gulf of Roses
The distinct crescent shape of the coastline where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Canigou Massif
The prominent eastern peak of the Pyrenees that dominates the horizon near Perpignan.
Paris Skyline
Frequent views of the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower, and the urban density of Paris during the final descent.
Best for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for iconic Parisian landmarks. This side is typically better for coastal views.
Montserrat
The serrated peaks of the Montserrat mountain range visible shortly after departure from BCN.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the highest snow-capped peaks of the border range, including Pic d'Aneto.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic terrain of central France, featuring craters and rolling green plateaus.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire river and occasional glimpses of historic French chateaus.
Ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the French landscape. It offers the most detailed views of the high Pyrenean glaciers. Sit here for the most rugged mountain terrain.
