Left Side Highlights

🦁

Lion's Mound

Visible shortly after takeoff from Brussels, this historic landmark marks the site of the Battle of Waterloo.

🏰

Disneyland Paris

On clear days, the theme park and the eastern suburbs of Paris are visible as the flight heads south through France.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Distant views of the Chaine des Puys, a series of dormant volcanic peaks in the Massif Central region.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the high peaks as you cross the border from France into Spain, including Pic du Canigou.

🌊

Costa Daurada

As the plane turns for its final approach, enjoy sweeping views of the golden Mediterranean coastline.

🏛️

Roman Tarragona

The UNESCO World Heritage site and its ancient seaside amphitheater are clearly visible just before touchdown.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best shots of the Mediterranean coastline and Tarragona's historic center. In winter, the snow-capped Pyrenees are a major highlight on this side.

Right Side Highlights

🗼

Paris Skyline

Depending on the specific airway, the Eiffel Tower and the Paris city center may be visible in the distance to the east.

💧

Loire Valley

Views of France's longest river and the lush greenery of the surrounding valley known for its historic chateaus.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A grand perspective of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto, often visible during the transition into Spanish airspace.

🍇

Priorat Mountains

Rugged, terraced landscapes of one of Spain's most famous wine regions just north of Reus.

🎢

PortAventura World

The towering rollercoasters of one of Europe's largest theme parks are a distinct landmark during the descent.

The right side is excellent for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. Watch for the dramatic change in landscape from the green hills of France to the arid, rocky terrain of Catalonia. Look out for the massive Shambhala rollercoaster at PortAventura as a signal that landing is imminent.
