Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic perspective of the Eastern Pyrenees upon departure, distant views of the snow-capped Alps over France, and the scenic Ardennes forest before landing.
Costa Brava Coastline
Excellent views of the rugged Mediterranean cliffs and turquoise bays of northern Catalonia immediately after takeoff.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, including Mont Blanc, dominate the eastern horizon.
Ardennes Forest
A vast expanse of dense green hills and deep river valleys stretching across Luxembourg and eastern Belgium.
Luxembourg City
The distinct urban layout of Luxembourg City, built atop dramatic cliffs and deep gorges, is often visible.
North Brabant Fields
The meticulously organized Dutch landscape, characterized by geometric fields and canals, signals the arrival into Eindhoven.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes into the flight for the best long-distance views of the Alps. During descent, look for the 'High Fens' moorland between Belgium and the Netherlands.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the highest granite massifs and glacial valleys as the flight crosses the border into France.
Massif Central
The ancient, rounded volcanic peaks of central France create a unique undulating landscape below the wing.
Loire River
View the wide, winding bends of France's longest river as the flight path cuts across the heart of the country.
Paris Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, the western sprawl of the Paris metropolitan area is often visible in the distance.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic side of France. This side is also better for spotting the unique 'chaรฎne des puys' volcanic formations during the mid-flight segment.
