Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the highest peaks in the Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, and a spectacular perspective of the Pyrenees during the descent into Catalonia.
Vienna Cityscape
A stunning aerial view of the Austrian capital and the Danube river just minutes after leaving Bratislava.
Swiss Alps & Mont Blanc
The most dramatic part of the flight, featuring the highest peaks in Europe and the massive glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic landscape and plateaus of south-central France are visible midway through the journey.
The Pyrenees
The massive mountain wall dividing France and Spain, offering jagged peaks and deep green valleys on the descent.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminating the southern faces of the Alps and Pyrenees. Use a flight tracking app to identify Mont Blanc; it will be the highest, most prominent snowy peak on your right roughly 60-70 minutes into the flight.
Austrian Alps
Panoramic views of the Hohe Tauern range and the snow-capped Eastern Alps shortly after takeoff.
Milan and Po Valley
On clear days, see the sprawling northern Italian plains and the distant skyline of Milan.
Gulf of Lion
A sweeping view of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft tracks along the southern French coast.
Costa Brava
The rugged, turquoise coastline of northeastern Spain becomes visible during the final approach phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. It provides excellent coastal views during the descent into Girona, especially if the plane approaches from the sea. Watch for the sharp contrast between the blue water and the rocky cliffs of the Costa Brava.
