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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of coastal geography and dramatic terrain transitions, featuring the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic coast of France before crossing the lush western Pyrenees into the Spanish Meseta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bay of Biscay

Expansive views of the Atlantic coastline and the deep blue waters along the French-Spanish border.

πŸ‡

Bordeaux & Gironde

The massive Gironde Estuary and the orderly grids of the world-famous Bordeaux vineyards.

🌲

Landes Forest

A vast, emerald-green maritime pine forest stretching along the southwestern coast of France.

πŸ”οΈ

Western Pyrenees

Where the mountains meet the sea near San Sebastian and Biarritz, offering a unique coastal-alpine landscape.

πŸ’§

Guadiana River

The shimmering curves of the river as it snakes through the Extremadura region.

β›ͺ

Sevilla Approach

On final approach, you can often see the Giralda tower and the massive Cathedral of Seville.

The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Atlantic. During the descent, the aircraft often performs a U-turn over the city of Seville, providing a panoramic view of the Guadalquivir River. Watch for the silver reflection of the 'Silver Coast' in France shortly before crossing into Spain.

Greater Paris Area

Visibility of the urban sprawl and the Eiffel Tower if the flight path tracks slightly east of the city.

Central Pyrenees

High-altitude views of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.

Madrid Skyline

The distant towers of Madrid's financial district can often be spotted to the east during the mid-flight cruise.

Sierra Morena

The rugged, dark mountain range that marks the northern gateway into the Andalusia region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a sharp eye out for the transition from the green fields of France to the arid, golden plains of central Spain. Look for the distinct geometric patterns of the Spanish olive groves as you descend into Andalusia.
