EIN → MAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular approach into Madrid, featuring the rugged Sierra de Guadarrama mountains and the iconic city skyline including the Cuatro Torres.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Lush green geometric patterns of the world-famous wine region as you cross into southwestern France.
Bay of Biscay
Deep blue views of the Atlantic Ocean visible on the horizon during the cruise phase over France.
Western Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the mountain range near the Basque Country with sharp limestone peaks.
Sierra de Guadarrama
The massive granite mountain range just north of Madrid, often snow-capped during winter months.
Madrid Skyscrapers
Direct views of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium during the final approach.
This is the premier side for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the Atlantic coast. During the descent into MAD, the aircraft usually banks in a way that provides the right side with an unobstructed view of the city center.
Brussels Metro Area
Clear views of the Belgian capital's dense urban sprawl shortly after takeoff from Eindhoven.
Massif Central
The dramatic volcanic peaks and deep valleys of south-central France are best seen from this side.
Eastern Pyrenees
Aerial perspective of the high-altitude glacial lakes and jagged ridges of the Franco-Spanish border.
Ebro River
The winding path of Spain's most voluminous river cutting through the arid Aragon landscape.
On morning flights, expect significant sun glare on this side as you head south; keep window shades ready. It is the better side for spotting the distant Alps if the flight path is pushed eastward by weather.
