Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Pyrenees mountain range and the rugged landscapes of the Spanish Meseta, with better lighting for photography on south-westbound flights.
Bologna Skyline
A great view of the 'Red City' and its medieval towers during the initial climb.
The Pyrenees
The spectacular snow-dusted peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Ebro Valley
The lush agricultural basin and the winding Ebro River as you enter Spanish airspace.
The Meseta Central
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its unique ochre and gold hues.
Sierra Morena
The final mountain barrier before the descent into the fertile Andalusian plains.
The right side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight on this southwesterly route, providing perfect conditions for photographing the Pyrenees. Look out approximately 60-70 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. In winter, the contrast between the snowy peaks and the dry Spanish interior is particularly striking.
Gulf of Genoa
Stunning views of the Italian Riviera and the Ligurian Sea shortly after takeoff.
Balearic Sea
Vast blue Mediterranean vistas with occasional glimpses of the Balearic Islands to the south.
Costa del Azahar
The beautiful 'Orange Blossom Coast' of Spain as the plane crosses the shoreline near Valencia.
Sierra Nevada
On clear days, the high snow-capped peaks of southern Spain are visible in the distance.
Guadalquivir River
The winding silver ribbon of the river that leads directly into the heart of Sevilla.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rise over the Mediterranean, but be aware of intense glare during midday. It is excellent for spotting coastal towns and the deep blue of the sea during the mid-portion of the flight.
