Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for its exceptional views of the Barcelona skyline during takeoff, a prime perspective of the Pyrenees mountain range, and the dramatic approach into the Norwegian fjord landscape.
Barcelona Cityscape
Aerial views of the Eixample grid and the Sagrada Familia immediately after takeoff from El Prat.
High Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped border between Spain and France with views of Aneto peak.
Dutch Delta Works
Intricate patterns of islands, dikes, and bridges along the southwestern coast of the Netherlands.
Norwegian Archipelagos
The stunning transition from the North Sea to the rocky islands and deep inlets of the Rogaland coast.
Book a seat well ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pyrenees, which appear roughly 20-30 minutes after takeoff. During the descent into Stavanger, keep your camera ready for the dramatic contrast between the North Sea and the rocky Norwegian coastline.
Montserrat Massif
Distinctive multi-peaked rocky range located near Barcelona, visible shortly after departure.
Bay of Biscay Coast
The rugged western coastline of France visible if the flight path tracks slightly west.
North Sea Wind Farms
Vast arrays of offshore wind turbines appearing as white dots on the water during the final cruise phase.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. It provides a more tranquil view of the open sea and the western horizon, perfect for spotting the sunset on evening departures.
