BRU → LEI
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Almería International Airport (Almeria)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer excellent views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the high Pyrenees peaks, the volcanic landscapes of Central France, and the dramatic Sierra Nevada mountains during the final descent into Almería.

Paris Surroundings
Depending on the specific airway, the western outskirts of Paris or the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance.
Auvergne Volcanoes
The unique chain of dormant volcanic peaks (Chaîne des Puys) in the Massif Central of France.
High Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in the mountain range, including Aneto, while crossing the border into Spain.
Cuenca Canyons
The jagged limestone cliffs and deep river gorges of the Serranía de Cuenca in central Spain.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest mountain range, often snow-capped even in late spring, visible to the west during the descent.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Pyrenees and Sierra Nevada without obstruction. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for some sun glare; however, the sunset views over the Spanish plateau are spectacular.

Champagne Region
Aerial views of the historic vineyards and rolling hills of the Grand Est region in France.
Lyon and the Alps
On clear days, the city of Lyon is visible with the snow-capped French Alps shimmering on the far horizon.
Mediterranean Coast
As the flight nears Spain, the deep blue of the Balearic Sea becomes visible beyond the Gulf of Roses.
Cabo de Gata-Níjar
Dramatic volcanic cliffs and hidden coves of the natural park just east of the Almería approach path.
The Sea of Plastic
The surreal sight of thousands of white greenhouses covering the landscape near El Ejido and the coast.
Sit on the left if you enjoy coastal views. During the final approach to LEI, the plane often tracks over the Mediterranean before turning inland, offering a great look at the rugged Almerian shoreline. Morning flights provide the best lighting on this side without the glare of the southern sun.
