Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the distant Alps across France and a spectacular approach over the Mediterranean coastline and the Costa Brava.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Harz Mountains

Visible shortly after departure, these northern German peaks offer a rugged contrast to the surrounding plains.

πŸ”οΈ

Distant French Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped French Alps can be seen far on the eastern horizon while cruising over central France.

πŸ‡

RhΓ΄ne Valley

As you head south, the winding RhΓ΄ne River and the famous vineyards of the region provide a lush tapestry below.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean come into view as the aircraft nears the French-Spanish border.

πŸ–οΈ

Costa Brava

During the final descent, enjoy views of the rugged 'Rugged Coast' with its hidden coves and turquoise water.

Choose this side for early morning flights to catch the sunrise over Central Europe. During descent, look for the Cap de Creus, the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce glare from the Mediterranean Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🚜

North German Plain

A patchwork of agricultural fields and wind farms typical of the Lower Saxony landscape right after takeoff.

πŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Fly over the ancient volcanic peaks of central France, featuring unique rounded 'puys' and deep gorges.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Pyrenees

The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range provide a stunning natural border as you enter Spain.

πŸ’§

Lake of Banyoles

Just before landing at GRO, look for Catalonia's largest natural lake shimmering in the sunlight.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers the best view of the higher, more dramatic peaks of the central Pyrenees. Keep your camera ready as you cross the border into Spain for high-altitude mountain photography.
