Which side of the plane to sit from Peretola Airport (Florence) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?

Search flights from FLR to BCN
Tuscan Countryside
Rolling hills and vineyards of the Italian mainland immediately after takeoff from Florence.
French Riviera
Stunning aerial views of Nice, Cannes, and the glamorous coastline of the Cote d'Azur.
Marseille & Calanques
The limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the Calanques National Park near Marseille.
Costa Brava
The wild, rocky coastline of northern Catalonia as the plane descends toward Barcelona.
Barcelona Skyline
Dramatic views of the Sagrada Familia, Agbar Tower, and the Eixample district grid layout during the approach.
The Right Side is significantly more scenic. Request a window seat away from the wing for the best views of the French coast. Flights departing in the morning offer the best lighting on the landscape, whereas late afternoon flights may experience some sun glare as you head west. During the descent, look for the unique grid pattern of Barcelona's urban design.

Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile, visible shortly after departure.
Cap Corse
The rugged northern peninsula of Corsica often appears on the horizon across the Ligurian Sea.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Expansive views of deep blue waters and occasional glimpses of ferries crossing between Italy and Spain.
Sit on the left if you prefer unobstructed sea horizons and want to avoid the direct glare of the sun during afternoon flights. On final approach to BCN from the south, you might see the busy Port of Barcelona and the Mediterranean coastline stretching toward the horizon.
