Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more scenic journey, offering a front-row seat to the southern Alps, the shimmering French Riviera, and a breathtaking coastal approach into Valencia.
The Swiss & French Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake is visible, often with the city of Geneva at its western tip.
French Riviera
A stunning panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, including Nice, Cannes, and the surrounding azure waters.
Barcelona Cityscape
On clear days, the distinct grid pattern of the Eixample district and the Sagrada FamΓlia are visible.
Costa del Azahar
The 'Orange Blossom Coast' unfolds as the plane descends towards Valencia Airport.
Book a seat on the left (A/B) for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean without direct glare. During the descent into Valencia, keep your camera ready for the port and beach views. In winter, the Alps provide the most dramatic contrast against the blue sky.
Central European Forests
Dense green expanses across Germany and the Czech Republic during the first half of the trip.
Massif Central
View the unique volcanic plateaus and ancient craters of south-central France.
The Pyrenees
The rugged mountain range forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plains and arid landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula interior.
Albufera Natural Park
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the large freshwater lagoon south of Valencia.
The right side (E/F) is ideal for sunset flights, as you will witness the sun dipping below the Iberian horizon. Look out for the Pyrenees roughly 45-60 minutes before arrival. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure you can see the deep valleys of the Massif Central.
