Search flights from EIN to BCN
Massif Central
Ancient volcanic peaks and rugged highlands in south-central France.
Pyrenees Mountains
The snow-capped border between France and Spain, providing the flight's most dramatic scenery.
Montserrat
The uniquely jagged, multi-peaked mountain range located just northwest of Barcelona.
Barcelona City Grid
The perfect octagonal blocks of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Familia are often visible.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into BCN. If the plane lands from the north (Runway 24R), you get a panoramic view of the entire city. For late afternoon flights, the Pyrenees are beautifully illuminated by the setting sun. Try to book a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the urban landscape.

Ardennes Forest
Dense, rolling green hills spanning the border region of Belgium and France shortly after departure.
Rhone River Valley
The winding path of one of Europe's major rivers as it cuts through the southeast of France.
Camargue Wetlands
A unique landscape of salt pans and marshes near the mouth of the Rhone before hitting the sea.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the Mediterranean coastline stretching toward the French Riviera.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for spotting the glistening water of the Mediterranean as you cross the French coast. During the final approach over the sea, you may see large cargo ships waiting to enter the Port of Barcelona.
