Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?

Our Recommendation

Bordeaux & Gironde

The massive Gironde Estuary and the orderly grids of the world-renowned Mรฉdoc and Saint-ร‰milion vineyards.

The Pyrenees

A stunning skyline of snow-capped peaks to the south, visible during the descent and final approach into Blagnac.

The right side is the best choice for the approach; as the plane descends, the Pyrenees often provide a magnificent backdrop. For afternoon flights, be aware of the sun's position which may cause glare on this side of the cabin.
