GROBLL

Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Billund Airport (Billund)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a breathtaking panoramic view of the Alpine horizon to the east and superior views of the volcanic landscapes in central France and the Danish coastline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Alpine Horizon

A stunning distant view of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps shimmering on the eastern horizon.

🌋

Chaîne des Puys

A spectacular chain of extinct volcanoes in the Massif Central region of France.

🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

The UNESCO-listed gorge featuring medieval castles and steep vineyard slopes near Koblenz.

⚓

Hamburg Port

One of Europe's largest ports and the Elbe river snaking through Northern Germany.

🇩🇰

Little Belt Strait

The scenic waters and bridges connecting the Jutland peninsula with the island of Funen.

This is the 'cool side' for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look out for the Alps about 30-40 minutes into the flight; they appear as a jagged white line on the horizon. During the descent into Billund, this side often gets the best view of the Danish island archipelago.

Left Side Highlights

🏖️

Costa Brava

Dramatic views of the rugged Mediterranean coastline and turquoise coves immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Cévennes National Park

The deep canyons and limestone plateaus of the southern edge of the Massif Central.

🏙️

Rhine-Ruhr Metro

The sprawling industrial heart of Germany, including cities like Cologne and Düsseldorf.

⛴️

Wadden Sea

The unique tidal flats and wetlands of the North Sea coast visible as you approach Denmark.

🌾

Jutland Farmlands

The patchwork quilt of green and yellow fields typical of the Danish countryside.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Spanish coastline shortly after departure. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade ready to manage glare.
