Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers an unparalleled panoramic tour of the European Mediterranean coastline, featuring the French Riviera, the Pyrenees mountains, and the iconic cityscapes of Barcelona and Valencia.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Alps and Milan

Immediate views of the Orobic Prealps and the dense urban landscape of the Lombardy region after takeoff.

🏖️

French Riviera

Stunning vistas of Nice, Cannes, and the red rocks of the Estérel Massif along the Cote d'Azur.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A dramatic crossing of the mountain border between France and Spain, often featuring snow-capped peaks.

🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

A world-class aerial view of the Sagrada Família and the unique grid pattern of the Eixample district.

🍊

Costa Blanca

The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters near Alicante and the mountain ranges of the Spanish interior.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Just before landing, view the highest peaks of mainland Spain, which remain snow-covered well into late spring.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here during morning flights for the best lighting on the coastline. Keep your camera ready about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing and shortly after for the spectacular view of Barcelona. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean coast is a highlight.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the plane leaves the Italian coast near Genoa.

🛳️

Gulf of Lion

A vast maritime perspective of the Mediterranean crossing between the French and Spanish coasts.

🏝️

Balearic Islands

On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Mallorca and Ibiza can be spotted on the horizon to the southeast.

🌅

Mediterranean Horizon

Ideal for sunset flights, offering a long, unobstructed view of the golden hour over the open sea.

🏗️

Port of Malaga

As the plane banks for its final approach, you get a clear view of the bustling harbor and cruise terminals.

The left side is preferable for late afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sun glare and enjoy the reflection of the sunset on the water. It provides a more peaceful, maritime-focused journey with occasional glimpses of distant islands.
