Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the highest Pyrenean peaks and a stunning aerial perspective of Barcelona's iconic urban layout shortly after takeoff.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Barcelona Cityscape

A clear view of the Sagrada Famรญlia and the distinctive grid pattern of the Eixample district during the initial climb.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Montserrat Massif

The unique, jagged limestone formations of the Montserrat mountain range visible about 10 minutes into the flight.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Maladeta massif and Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees range.

๐Ÿ’ง

Garonne River Valley

Follow the winding path of the Garonne as the aircraft begins its descent into the Occitanie region.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains. This side is superior for photography of the high peaks. If the flight departs to the south and turns, you will get a full loop view of the Catalan coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Costa Brava

The rugged 'Wild Coast' of northern Catalonia, featuring hidden coves and the city of Girona in the distance.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Pic du Canigou

The symbolic mountain of the Catalan people, standing prominently on the eastern edge of the Pyrenees.

๐Ÿฐ

Carcassonne Strategy

On specific northern approaches, you might spot the medieval fortified city of Carcassonne to the east.

๐ŸŒป

French Countryside

A beautiful patchwork of sunflower fields and vineyards typical of southern France during the final approach.

The right side is better for avoiding direct sunlight on afternoon flights. Keep a close eye out during descent for the Canal du Midi, which looks like a green ribbon cutting through the French landscape.
