Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to San Javier Airport (Murcia)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is highly recommended for this route as it provides the most scenic descent. As the aircraft approaches San Javier, the left side offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline, the vibrant blue waters of the Costa Blanca, and a perfect vantage point for the Mar Menor lagoon and the La Manga sandspit during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

Brussels & Belgium

Shortly after departure from Eindhoven, you will pass just east of the Belgian capital, offering views of the European administrative heart.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Massif Central

View the rugged volcanic landscapes and deep gorges of south-central France from a high altitude.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Eastern Pyrenees

A stunning crossing of the natural border where the mountains meet the Mediterranean sea near the Gulf of Lion.

๐ŸŒŠ

Costa Blanca

Gaze at the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters stretching from Valencia down towards Alicante.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Mar Menor Lagoon

A spectacular final-approach view of Europe's largest saltwater lagoon and the narrow 21km strip of La Manga.

For the best experience, book a seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The most critical viewing window is the last 20 minutes of the flight when the descent over the Mediterranean coast begins. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns to line up with the runway over the water.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ—ผ

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris is often visible on the western horizon during the first half-hour of flight.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

Spot the winding rivers and occasional historic chรขteaux dotting the lush landscape of central France.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

High Pyrenees

Excellent views of the higher, snow-capped central peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range as you enter Spanish airspace.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Spanish Meseta

Observe the vast, arid, and golden plateaus of the Spanish interior, showing the contrast to the green Dutch landscapes.

โ›ณ

Murcian Orchards

See the 'Huerta de Murcia' with its patchwork of citrus groves and modern golf resorts just before landing.

The Right Side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Spanish plains. Look out for the dramatic change in terrain from the green fields of Northern Europe to the rugged, dry mountains of the Iberian Peninsula about 90 minutes into the flight.
