Which side of the plane to sit from Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unrivaled perspective of the High Alps, including the iconic peak of Mont Blanc, followed by a spectacular coastal approach over the Mediterranean toward the Costa Brava.
Swiss and French Alps
Dramatic views of the highest European peaks and glaciers shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Lake Geneva
A stunning view of the crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva at its western tip.
Mont Blanc
The highest mountain in the Alps is often clearly visible on the left side during the transit through French airspace.
Mediterranean Coast
The deep blue waters of the Gulf of Lion become visible as the flight heads south from France.
Costa Brava
Rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the Spanish coastline appearing during the final descent.
For the most dramatic Alpine scenery, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the glaciers. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps, while afternoon flights may experience some glare from the southern sun. Keep an eye out approximately 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the most intense mountain views.
The Jura Mountains
Rolling limestone ridges and dense forests bordering the Swiss-French frontier.
Lake Annecy
The cleanest lake in Europe, often visible as a bright turquoise spot in the French Prealps.
Rhone Valley
The historic river valley and its famous vineyards stretching toward the southern coast.
Massif Central
Ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged highlands of central France visible to the west.
Eastern Pyrenees
The eastern tail of the Pyrenees mountains marking the border between France and Spain.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the French countryside. It also provides a better view of the transition from the mountains to the Mediterranean plains. Watch for the change in landscape from the sharp Alps to the flatter, sun-drenched terrain of Provence.
