Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Mediterranean coastline, the intricate Ebro Delta, and a spectacular aerial perspective of Valencia's modern architecture during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇳🇱

Dutch Lowlands

View the intricate canal systems and green agricultural grids of the North Brabant province immediately after takeoff.

🍇

Champagne Region

Rolling hills and vast vineyards of northeastern France pass underneath during the first hour of flight.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Witness the dramatic transition from the French plains to the snow-capped peaks of the Mediterranean Pyrenees.

🏖️

Costa Dorada

Stunning views of the golden Spanish coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the plane begins its descent.

🌊

Ebro Delta

A massive, bird-shaped wetland and rice-growing region where the Ebro River meets the Mediterranean Sea.

🏛️

City of Arts and Sciences

On the final approach, look for the futuristic white structures of Valencia's famous architectural complex.

Choose the left side for an iconic approach over the Mediterranean. You will see the Ebro Delta, a unique wetland formation, about 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow-covered Pyrenees are breathtaking. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making photography easier.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Ardennes Forest

The dense, hilly woodlands of southern Belgium and Luxembourg provide a lush green tapestry early in the flight.

🌋

Massif Central

Ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged highlands of central France are visible during the cruise phase.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A direct look at the highest peaks of the range, including Aneto, forming the natural border between France and Spain.

🏜️

Aragon Badlands

The landscape shifts dramatically to arid, red-clay canyons and semi-desert terrain as you fly over northern Spain.

⛰️

Iberian System

Rugged mountain ranges and limestone plateaus of inland Spain dominate the view before the final turn toward Valencia airport.

The right side is best for witnessing the geological diversity of inland Europe. Look out for the extinct volcanoes of the Massif Central in France. As you enter Spain, notice the shift to red-clay earth and rugged canyons. Avoid sitting here during late afternoon flights to prevent direct sun glare.
