BCN → STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Alpine range and the turquoise Mediterranean coast shortly after takeoff from Barcelona.
Costa Brava
Stunning views of the rugged Catalan coastline and Mediterranean blue waters during the initial climb.
Western Alps
Spectacular panoramas of snow-capped peaks, including glimpses of Mont Blanc in the distance on clear days.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake spanning the border of France and Switzerland.
Swabian Jura
The limestone plateau featuring rolling hills and deep valleys just before landing at STR.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best experience, fly during the winter or spring when the Alps are heavily snow-covered. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the horizon isn't obstructed by the engine during the turn over the Mediterranean.
Pyrenees Mountains
Dramatic views of the eastern edge of the mountain range separating Spain and France.
Lyon
An aerial perspective of France's third-largest city and its historic confluence of rivers.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies visible as the aircraft begins its descent into the Baden-Württemberg region.
Hohenzollern Castle
On a clear day during the final approach, look for this iconic fairytale castle perched on a hill south of Stuttgart.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It is particularly scenic during the golden hour when the French countryside is bathed in soft light. Keep an eye out for the Rhone Valley's winding path northwards.
