Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the distant Alpine horizon and the meandering Rhine River, complemented by a stunning departure over the Costa Brava coastline.
Costa Brava
A beautiful view of the Mediterranean coastline and the Gulf of Roses immediately after departing Girona.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the jagged white-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps are visible far to the east.
Burgundy Region
The geometric patchwork of some of the world's most famous vineyards in eastern France.
Rhine River
The silver thread of Europe's most significant waterway cutting through the landscape toward the Netherlands.
Weser River
The main river of Bremen which guides the plane in for landing, often featuring large cargo ships.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. Watch the horizon about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best chance to spot the Alps. During the descent, look for the distinctive Hanseatic architecture of Bremen's city center if the wind dictates a northern approach.
Eastern Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the rugged mountain peaks separating Spain and France shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and green valleys of south-central France.
Loire Valley
Glimpses of the historical region known for its world-class vineyards and French chateaux.
Ruhr Metropolis
A dense urban and industrial landscape that creates a spectacular grid of lights during evening flights.
Lower Saxony Plains
The quintessential North German landscape of flat farmlands and wind turbines on the approach to Bremen.
Choose this side for morning departures to keep the sun behind you, ensuring clear views of the Pyrenees. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, look for the 'Weser-Ems' region's unique drainage canals and peat bogs.
