BRS โ TLS
Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline of France, the famous vineyards of Bordeaux, and a spectacular view of the Pyrenees mountain range during the final descent into Toulouse.
North Devon Coast
Breathtaking views of the Bristol Channel and the northern edges of Exmoor National Park during departure.
Mont Saint-Michel
On clear days with a westerly route, the iconic island abbey can be spotted on the horizon near the Normandy coast.
Bordeaux & Gironde
The massive Gironde Estuary and the orderly grids of the world-renowned Mรฉdoc and Saint-รmilion 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.
Somerset Landscapes
Immediate views of the Mendip Hills and the rural greenery of Somerset right after takeoff from BRS.
Seine Estuary
Glimpses of the industrial port of Le Havre and the mouth of the Seine River as you enter French airspace.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the 'Garden of France,' featuring winding rivers and the historic landscapes of the Pays de la Loire.
Limousin Highlands
Transition into the more rugged and elevated terrain of south-central France as the flight nears its destination.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the French interior. During the descent, this side provides a great view of the Tarn river and the northern suburbs of Toulouse as the aircraft enters the landing pattern.
