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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the Mediterranean coastline and the most dramatic high-altitude peaks of the Swiss and French Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Costa Brava

The stunning turquoise waters and rocky coves of the Catalan coastline right after takeoff.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & High Alps

Breathtaking vistas of Western Europe's highest peaks and sprawling glaciers.

💧

Lake Geneva

Wide-angle views of the iconic crescent lake and the city of Lausanne in the distance.

🌅

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🌲

Allgäu Region

The picturesque green foothills and traditional Bavarian villages during the descent.

The right side is essential for Alpine enthusiasts. On clear winter days, the snow-covered peaks are exceptionally vivid. Book a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Lake Constance during the final 15 minutes of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

Rugged peaks of the Spanish-French border immediately after departure from Girona.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique volcanic plateaus and rolling hills of south-central France.

🏙️

City of Lyon

Visuals of the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers in the heart of the city.

🏞️

Swiss Plateau

Vast green valleys and agricultural patterns leading toward the Jura mountains.

Sit on the left for softer morning light and better views of the Pyrenees during the initial ascent. It is also the preferred side to avoid direct sunlight during the majority of the flight time.
