GROFMO

Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior scenic experience, beginning with the stunning turquoise coastline of the Costa Brava before transitioning into distant views of the snow-capped Alps and the industrial heart of Germany along the Rhine.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏖️

Costa Brava Coastline

Spectacular initial climb views of the Mediterranean shoreline, rocky coves, and the Gulf of Lion.

🏔️

French & Swiss Alps

On clear days, the eastern horizon is dominated by the distant, majestic white peaks of the Alpine range, including Mont Blanc.

🍇

Burgundy Vineyards

Fly over the famous 'Cote d'Or' wine region, recognizable by its neat, geometric patterns of world-class vineyards.

🚢

Middle Rhine

Follow the silver thread of the Rhine River as it carves through the German landscape towards the North.

🏗️

Ruhr Industrial Valley

An incredible view of Germany's industrial core, including the massive stadiums and complexes of Dortmund and Essen during descent.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Alps to the east. During descent into FMO, keep an eye out for the Teutoburg Forest. If the plane approaches from the south, you will have a perfect view of the dense urban clusters of the Ruhr area. Seat 5F-12F or 22F-28F are recommended to avoid wing interference.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Impressive views of the rugged peaks and deep valleys forming the natural border between Spain and France shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Aerial perspective of the Chaîne des Puys, a series of dormant volcanic domes in the Massif Central region.

🏰

Loire Valley

Spot the winding Loire River and its surrounding green landscapes, often dotted with historic French chateaux.

🏙️

Brussels Metropolitan Area

As you cross into Belgium, the sprawling urban layout of the European capital becomes visible to the West.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the French countryside. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for the best mountain photography as you clear the Pyrenees. Mid-cabin seats provide the most stable view without the wing obscuring the Auvergne craters.
