GRO β HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the snow-capped French Alps and Lake Geneva in the distance, followed by an excellent view of the Rhine and Moselle river valleys during the descent.
Costa Brava & Gulf of Lion
Dramatic views of the Catalan coastline and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean as the plane turns north.
French Alps & Mont Blanc
On clear days, the majestic white peaks of the Alps and the summit of Mont Blanc are visible to the east.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent shape of Lake Geneva (Lac LΓ©man) can often be spotted glistening between mountain ranges.
Black Forest
The expansive, dark timberlands of southwestern Germany's Schwarzwald region appearing to the east.
Moselle Valley
The steep, terraced vineyards and tight river bends of the Moselle region during the final approach into Hahn.
The right side is prime for Alpine views; book an early morning flight for the most dramatic lighting on the peaks. During the descent into HHN, look for the numerous castles perched above the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
Eastern Pyrenees
Aerial view of the rugged peaks and valleys where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France, offering unique geological textures.
Vosges Mountains
Dense, dark green forests and rounded peaks of the Vosges range as you approach the German border.
Luxembourg Border
A view of the winding rivers and lush green hills marking the border between France, Luxembourg, and Germany.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best perspective of the Pyrenees chain stretching westward immediately after departure from Girona.
