Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Béziers-Vias Airport (Beziers)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a spectacular overview of the volcanic heart of France and the distant Pyrenees during the descent.
Southern Uplands
Rolling green hills and valleys of the Scottish Borders during the climb to cruising altitude.
Cotswolds & Midlands
The classic English 'patchwork quilt' landscape of rural villages and ancient forests.
Loire Valley
Crossing the 'Garden of France,' known for its historic châteaux and winding river sections.
Auvergne Volcanoes
The incredible Chaîne des Puys, featuring dozens of extinct cinder cones and the massive Puy de Dôme.
Pyrenees Silhouette
The snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees forming a jagged wall on the horizon during the descent into Beziers.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' Keep your camera ready about 50 minutes after takeoff to capture the unique circular craters of the Auvergne region. In winter, the snow on the distant Pyrenees makes for a stunning backdrop.
Edinburgh & Firth of Forth
Dramatic views of the Scottish capital and the iconic red Rail Bridge immediately after departure.
English East Coast
The rugged cliffs of Northumberland and the Farne Islands visible during the initial cruise phase.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distant sprawl of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be spotted to the east.
Cévennes National Park
The deep gorges and high limestone plateaus of the eastern Massif Central.
Étang de Thau
The vast saltwater lagoon famous for oyster beds, appearing just before the final touchdown.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly rewarding during the final 10 minutes for views of the Mediterranean coastline and the fishing ports near Sète.
