Which side of the plane to sit from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?

The right side offers the most dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees mountain range and provides a panoramic view of the Valencia city skyline and the Turia gardens during the final approach into VLC.

Loire Valley
Views of the winding Loire River and the verdant countryside of central France shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the jagged, snow-capped peaks that form the natural border between France and Spain.
Aragonese Steppe
The dramatic change in landscape to the arid, reddish plateaus of the Teruel and Aragon regions.
Valencia City Center
A clear view of the historic district, the Cathedral, and the iconic City of Arts and Sciences during the final descent.
Sierra de Javalambre
The high altitude mountain ranges of the Iberian System appearing just before the descent into the Valencia basin.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Pyrenees beautifully. During the approach to VLC, the right side usually provides a much better view of the city's unique geography, including the dry riverbed park (Turia) and the modern architectural landmarks.

Paris Distant View
Looking east shortly after takeoff, you can often spot the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the business district of La Défense.
Massif Central
The rugged terrain and ancient volcanic landscapes of south-central France are visible midway through the flight.
Balearic Sea
As the aircraft descends, the deep blue of the Mediterranean begins to hug the coastline near Castellón.
Valencia Port
Excellent views of the industrial port and the beaches of El Saler if the approach comes from the north-east.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the Mediterranean coastline as you cross the Spanish border. For the best views of the Port of Valencia, choose a window seat behind the wing to keep the flaps out of your photos.
