Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes, including the Barcelona coastline, the distant Pyrenees, the French Provence region, and a more direct look at the dramatic high peaks of the Western Alps during the descent into Turin.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

Spectacular views of the Eixample grid and Sagrada Familia immediately after takeoff from El Prat.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible to the northwest during the initial climb.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The unique salt pans, lagoons, and marshes of the Rhône delta appear as a mosaic of pink and blue.

⛰️

Provence Massifs

Views of the rugged limestone ridges of southern France, including the famous Mont Ventoux in the distance.

🏔️

The Western Alps

A breathtaking close-up of the French-Italian Alps, including the Vanoise and Graian ranges as you descend.

Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare for photography. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the city view and again 15 minutes before landing for the Alpine peaks. In winter, the snow-covered mountains are particularly stunning.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Costa Brava

A birds-eye view of the rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia and its hidden turquoise coves.

🛥️

French Riviera

Stunning vistas of Marseille’s Vieux Port and the shimmering coastline of the Côte d'Azur.

🏝️

Mediterranean Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Balearic Sea, with occasional sightings of distant shipping lanes.

🗻

Monviso Peak

The iconic pyramid-shaped mountain, known as the 'King of Stone,' is visible to the south during the approach.

🏘️

Po Valley

The fertile, flat plains of Piedmont stretching out towards the horizon as the plane nears Turin.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Watch for the city of Marseille as the plane crosses the Gulf of Lion. During the final approach into TRN, look for the Basilica of Superga perched on the hills east of Turin.
