Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular vantage point for the distant Swiss Alps, the high Eastern Pyrenees crossing, and the beautiful Costa Brava coastline during the final descent into Girona.
Ruhr Metropolis
A sprawling urban view of the industrial Rhine-Ruhr area immediately after departure from Dortmund.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.
Eastern Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the jagged border mountains as the flight transitions from France into Catalonia.
Costa Brava
Stunning aerial perspectives of the Mediterranean coastline, featuring turquoise coves and the Bay of Roses.
For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so window shades or sunglasses are recommended. The final approach usually offers the best coastal views from this side.
French Countryside
Aerial views of the rolling hills, vineyards, and agricultural mosaics of the Lorraine and Champagne regions.
Massif Central
The unique extinct volcanic craters and ancient plateaus of south-central France, including the Chaรฎne des Puys.
Central Pyrenees
Deep glacial valleys and the high summits of the central mountain chain marking the Spanish border.
Garrotxa Volcanics
Lush, forest-covered dormant volcanic cones located just north of Girona in the Garrotxa Natural Park.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft, providing perfectly lit landscapes of France. Keep an eye out for the Garonne river basin and the rugged foothills of the Pyrenees before landing.
