Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Béziers-Vias Airport (Beziers)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌄

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

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.
