CDG → VGO
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Vigo Airport (Vigo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, particularly during the descent into Vigo, featuring the rugged Atlantic coastline, the stunning Rías Baixas, and the Cíes Islands.
Bay of Biscay Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic where the ocean meets the rugged northern coastline of the Iberian Peninsula.
Cantabrian Cliffs
The dramatic meeting point of high cliffs and hidden beaches along the northern coast of Spain near Gijón and Ribadeo.
Ría de Vigo
The deep estuarine inlet leading to the city, filled with traditional 'bateas' (mussel platforms) floating in the water.
Cíes Islands
The 'Caribbean of the Atlantic,' featuring white sand beaches and turquoise waters at the mouth of the Vigo estuary during final approach.
The right side is essential for the approach into VGO. For the best experience, book an afternoon or evening flight to witness the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean and the Cíes Islands. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal inlets.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Bird's-eye view of the winding Loire River and the historic estates dotting the French countryside south of Paris.
Picos de Europa
Distances views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep gorges of the Cantabrian Mountains as you enter Spanish airspace.
Galician Interior
Lush, emerald-green hills and misty valleys characteristic of the 'Green Spain' interior landscapes.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Garonne River and the distant Pyrenees on the horizon during clear days over southern France.
