Which side of the plane to sit from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (Bordeaux) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most diverse scenery, including the sprawling Landes forest, the majestic Pyrenees peaks on the horizon, and the best views of the Seville city center during the typical landing pattern.
Landes Forest
One of Europe's largest maritime pine forests, stretching south from Bordeaux in a vast green carpet.
Western Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the mountain range that forms the natural border between France and Spain.
Castilian Plateau
A high-altitude landscape dotted with historic Spanish towns and golden wheat fields.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, dark mountain range that marks the northern boundary of the Andalusia region.
Seville Skyline
Prime views of the Cathedral, Giralda, and the winding Guadalquivir River as the plane descends.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and photo opportunities. Watch for the sharp transition from the green forests of Aquitaine to the arid landscapes of central Spain about 30 minutes into the flight. If landing on Runway 27, the left side provides an unbeatable view of the city's historic core.
Bay of Biscay Coast
Distant views of the Atlantic coastline and the French Basque Country shortly after takeoff.
Cantabrian Mountains
The western extension of the Pyrenees visible along the northern coast of Spain.
Extremadura Dehesas
Unique oak-dotted grasslands typical of western Spain, used for raising Iberian pigs.
Alqueva Reservoir
In the distance, one of the largest man-made lakes in Europe on the Portuguese border.
Olympic Stadium
Views of the Isla de la Cartuja and the modern architecture of the 1992 Expo site on final approach.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It offers a great perspective of the vast agricultural plains of Extremadura. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, keep an eye out for the distinctive silver glint of the Atlantic Ocean in the distance.
