CRL β BIQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport (Biarritz-bayonne)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular approach along the Silver Coast, providing a bird's-eye view of the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic beaches of the Basque Country before landing.
Parisian Outskirts
On clear days, the western edges of Paris and the skyscrapers of La DΓ©fense are visible in the distance.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean opens up as you track toward the southwest.
Landes Forest
The massive, uniform green canopy of Europe's largest maritime pine forest stretching toward the coast.
The Silver Coast
The endless stretch of sandy beaches from Arcachon down toward the Basque Country.
Biarritz Lighthouse
The iconic white lighthouse on Cape Hainsart marking the final approach to the airport.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal views. For the best lighting, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Atlantic coastline. During the final approach, look down to see the surf at the Grande Plage and the unique rock formations like the Rocher de la Vierge.
Loire Valley Castles
Bird's-eye view of the winding Loire River and the historic estates scattered throughout the valley.
Massif Central
Distal views of the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged plateaus of central France.
City of Limoges
The historic center and the Vienne river flowing through the heart of the Limousin region.
Dordogne Vineyards
Neat rows of grapevines and rolling hills as the flight traverses the famous wine country.
Pyrenees Mountains
Breathtaking views of the high peaks along the Spanish border during the southern descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for mountain enthusiasts, as the Pyrenees will dominate the horizon during the final 20 minutes of the journey. Keep your camera ready for the contrast between the green hills and the rocky peaks.
