Which side of the plane to sit from Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth) to San Javier Airport (Murcia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the English Jurassic Coast at takeoff, the rugged French Atlantic coastline, and a more dramatic perspective of the Spanish Meseta during the descent into Murcia.

Jurassic Coast
Exceptional views of the Dorset coastline, including Sandbanks and the chalk cliffs, immediately following takeoff.
French Atlantic Isles
Spot the Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron nestled against the western coast of France near La Rochelle.
Pic du Midi de Bigorre
Identify the iconic observatory-topped peak as the aircraft traverses the western section of the Pyrenees range.
Murcia City
As the plane descends, view the regional capital and the surrounding 'Huerta' orchards against the backdrop of the Sierra de Carrascoy.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. It provides the most consistent coastal views over France. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Bournemouth shoreline and again roughly 80 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing.

Isle of Wight
A clear view of the Needles and the Solent as the aircraft gains altitude after departing Bournemouth.
Loire Valley
Look out for the winding Loire River and the numerous historic chateaux scattered across the French countryside.
Eastern Pyrenees
Glimpse the snow-capped high peaks of the central and eastern Pyrenees as you cross the border into Spain.
Mar Menor Lagoon
On final approach, the saltwater lagoon and the thin strip of La Manga are visible as the plane turns toward the runway.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying south, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is also preferable if the flight path takes a more easterly route over the Mediterranean before landing, providing views of the Alicante coastline.
