Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the high Pyrenees, the sprawling landscapes of the Spanish Meseta, and an iconic view of Seville's historic center including the Cathedral during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Greater Paris Area

On clear days shortly after reaching cruising altitude, the Parisian skyline and the Eiffel Tower are often visible in the distance to the east.

🏰

Loire Valley

View the meandering Loire River and the famous French châteaux scattered across the lush valley floor.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A stunning crossing of the high mountain range, offering views of the snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys.

🏜️

Castilian Meseta

Observe the vast, golden high plateau of central Spain, characterized by its unique agricultural patterns and arid beauty.

⛪

Seville City Center

During the descent, the left side typically offers a spectacular view of the Giralda tower, the Cathedral, and the Plaza de España.

🛣️

Walloon Landscape

Immediate views of the industrial heritage and rolling hills of the Sambre-et-Meuse region upon takeoff.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct afternoon sun over the Atlantic. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, stay alert as the aircraft usually banks to provide a panoramic view of Seville's historic core. Seasonal tip: In winter, the Pyrenees crossing is particularly breathtaking with heavy snow cover.

Fly over the world-renowned wine regions near Bordeaux, seeing the neatly organized rows of grapevines.

Bay of Biscay Coast

Views of the rugged Atlantic coastline where France meets Spain, featuring the scenic curves of the Basque country.

⛰️

Picos de Europa

In the distance to the west, the jagged limestone peaks of Northern Spain's most famous range are often visible.

💧

Extremadura Reservoirs

Large, deep blue man-made lakes like the Embalse de Alcántara contrast sharply against the dry Spanish landscape.

🌿

Sierra Morena

The final mountain barrier before Andalusia, featuring dense Mediterranean forests and olive groves.

🛶

Guadalquivir River

Trace the path of the Great River as it winds through the fertile plains towards the Atlantic.

The right side is excellent for evening flights, offering a chance to witness sunset reflections over the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic. Use a window seat to spot the distinct color change of the landscape from the green of France to the ochre tones of southern Spain. Keep an eye out for the expansive solar farms in Andalusia just before landing.
