Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Menorca Airport (Menorca)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of France, the Right Side provides a superior angle of the snow-capped Pyrenees peaks and the dramatic Costa Brava coastline before descending into Menorca.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ—ผ

Parisian Outskirts

On clear days, catch the urban sprawl of the รŽle-de-France region and the distant silhouette of Paris.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' featuring wide riverbeds and the faint outlines of historic chateaus.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Pyrenees

A breathtaking crossing of the high mountain range separating France and Spain, often snow-capped.

๐ŸŒŠ

Costa Brava

The rugged, rocky coastline of Catalonia with its deep blue waters and hidden sandy coves.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Menorca North Coast

Views of the untouched northern beaches like Cavalleria and the lighthouse before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers the best vantage point for the Pyrenees crossing, which is the scenic highlight of the route. Watch for the change from the green French countryside to the arid, reddish tones of the Spanish coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
๐ŸŒณ

Wallonia Landscapes

The lush, rolling hills and dense forests of southern Belgium shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿท

Rhone Valley

Aerial views of the winding Rhone river and the famous vineyards of the Burgundy and Beaujolais regions.

๐ŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Distant views of the ancient volcanic peaks and plateaus in south-central France.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Gulf of Lion

The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coastline as the flight leaves mainland Europe.

โš“

Port of Mahรณn

An incredible view of one of the world's largest natural harbors during the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. The left side is particularly rewarding during the final approach if the aircraft lands on Runway 19, as it provides a front-row seat to the historic harbor of Mahรณn and the city's white-washed architecture.
