Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more diverse geographic experience, featuring the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees, the volcanic landscapes of central France, and the dense canopy of the Black Forest during the descent into Stuttgart.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Isla de Lobos

A pristine volcanic islet visible immediately after departure from Fuerteventura's northern coast.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude central plateau of Spain, often passing close to Madrid's urban sprawl.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped mountain range dividing the Iberian Peninsula from France.

๐ŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Views of the 'Chaรฎne des Puys,' a series of dormant volcanic domes in the heart of France.

๐ŸŒฒ

The Black Forest

Extensive views of the dark, wooded mountains of the Schwarzwald during the final approach to STR Airport.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. The Pyrenees crossing is the flight's visual peak, usually occurring around the midpoint of the journey. In winter, the snow-covered Massif Central and Black Forest offer stunning contrast. Note that the sun will be on this side for much of the afternoon, so window shades may be necessary during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒ‹

Lanzarote & Timanfaya

Dramatic views of the neighbouring island's volcanic craters shortly after takeoff from Fuerteventura.

๐ŸŒŠ

Atlantic Coastline

Depending on the track, you may see the rugged cliffs of the Portuguese coast or the Bay of Biscay.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Dune of Pilat

Look for Europe's tallest sand dune along the French coastline near Arcachon.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

Aerial views of France's longest river and its famous historical chรขteaux in the central regions.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Strasbourg Area

Views of the Rhine River and the border region between France and Germany before the final turn.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the coastal transition from the Atlantic into the French mainland near Bordeaux. Keep a lookout for the silver winding of the Loire River about 3 hours into the flight.
