Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Lviv International Airport (Lvov)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe, including the highest peaks of the Alps and the sharp granite ridges of the High Tatras.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The French Alps

Spectacular views of Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi as the plane traverses the northern Alpine range.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ

Swiss Bernese Oberland

The iconic trio of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks are often visible during clear transit over Central Europe.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

High Tatras

Dramatic, jagged granite peaks along the Slovak-Polish border, providing some of the most rugged views in Eastern Europe.

๐Ÿฐ

Krakow Surroundings

As the flight nears Ukraine, the historic landscapes of southern Poland and the Vistula river valley come into view.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Girona Cityscape

A brief but beautiful view of the Onyar River and the Cathedral of Saint Mary immediately after departure.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Tatras are exceptionally sharp; look for them about 40 minutes before landing in Lviv. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the Pyrenees foothills to the north.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Costa Brava

Breathtaking views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline and rugged cliffs of Catalonia during the initial climb.

๐ŸŒŠ

French Riviera

Panoramic views of the Cote d'Azur, including the Bay of Angels and the glitzy coastline near Nice.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Northern Italian Lakes

Glimpses of the deep blue waters of Lake Como and Lake Garda nestled at the foot of the southern Alps.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Dolomites

The unique, pale limestone formations of the Italian Dolomites are visible to the south during the mid-flight cruise.

๐ŸŒฒ

Eastern Carpathians

Rolling green ridges and dense forests of the Ukrainian Carpathians as the plane begins its descent into Lviv.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the sun is to the west, illuminating the Mediterranean coast and the Italian lakes with soft light. Look for the distinctive 'pale mountains' of the Dolomites about halfway through the flight. During the final approach, watch for the sprawling forests of Western Ukraine.
