BRS β†’ REU

Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Reus Air Base (Reus)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Atlantic coastline of France, the expansive Gironde Estuary near Bordeaux, and the most dramatic sections of the High Pyrenees during the border crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5

Bristol Channel

Wide-angle views of the Severn Estuary and the coastline of South Wales upon takeoff.

πŸ–οΈ

Brittany Peninsula

The jagged cliffs and turquoise waters of the French Atlantic coast near Brest and Lorient.

🍷

Gironde Estuary

The massive river mouth and the famous vineyards of the Bordeaux region.

πŸ”οΈ

Central Pyrenees

The most rugged and highest peaks of the mountain range, including visible glacial valleys.

🚜

Ebro Valley

The geometric patterns of Spanish farmland and the winding Ebro River near the arrival point.

Choose the right side for spectacular sunset views on evening flights. Keep your camera ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing; the high-altitude lakes are often visible from this side if the sky is clear.

Left Side Highlights

🌳

Somerset Levels

Lush green wetlands and the Mendip Hills immediately after departing Bristol.

🏰

Loire Valley

Aerial glimpses of the winding Loire River and the historic chΓ’teaux of central France.

The sparkling Mediterranean coastline and golden beaches of Catalonia during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides excellent views of the Mediterranean horizon as you approach Reus, making it ideal for spotting the coastal resorts of Salou and Cambrils from above.
