Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Carcassonne Airport (Carcassonne)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior geographic diversity, featuring the rolling hills of the Ardennes, the iconic volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central, and a spectacular distant view of the Pyrenees mountain range upon descent.
Ardennes Forest
Dense, hilly woodlands stretching across the Belgian-French border shortly after takeoff.
Champagne Vineyards
The meticulously ordered patterns of the famous Reims and Épernay wine regions.
Chaîne des Puys
A stunning chain of dormant volcanoes in the Massif Central, including the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Cévennes National Park
Rugged canyons and limestone plateaus of south-central France.
The Pyrenees
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks defining the Spanish border appear on the southern horizon.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. In the morning, you will have the sun behind you for clearer photography of the Massif Central volcanoes. During the final approach, look ahead to see the Mediterranean coastline in the far distance if visibility allows.
Charleroi & Brussels Outskirts
Early views of the industrial heart of Wallonia and the dense urban sprawl of central Belgium.
Loire Valley Periphery
Distant glimpses of the winding Loire River and its surrounding historic chateaus.
Languedoc Plains
A patchwork of sun-drenched vineyards and olive groves typical of the Occitanie region.
Cité de Carcassonne
The massive medieval double-walled fortress usually appears on the right side during the final descent into CCF.
The right side is essential for the final minutes of flight; as the plane banks for its final approach to Carcassonne Airport, the UNESCO-listed medieval citadel is most frequently visible from this side. Use a polarizing filter if flying in the afternoon to cut through haze.
