FMO → GRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the ancient volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central and a more dramatic perspective of the Pyrenees mountain range upon the approach to Catalonia.
Eifel Region
Dense forests and volcanic crater lakes (Maars) shortly after departure from FMO.
Massif Central
The rugged, ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of central France.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular wall of mountains separating France and Spain, often capped with snow.
Catalan Hinterland
Rolling hills dotted with medieval villages and cypress trees as you descend.
Costa Brava Edge
Rugged cliffs and hidden turquoise coves where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is the approach into Girona; as the plane descends, you get a panoramic view of the Pyrenees meeting the Mediterranean. Look out for the 'Canigou' peak during the winter months for a snow-covered spectacle.
Moselle Valley
Winding river loops and steep vineyard terraces near the German-French border.
Vosges Mountains
Lush, rounded peaks of the forested mountain range in eastern France.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far horizon.
Rhône River
Aerial views of the massive river as it flows through Lyon and southward.
Gulf of Lion
The blue expanse of the Mediterranean Sea becomes visible as the plane nears the Spanish border.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Rhine and Moselle rivers. This side also provides a chance to spot the distant high peaks of the Alps during the mid-portion of the flight.
