GRONRN

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of scenic diversity, including the initial climb over the Costa Brava, distant views of the Alps, and a more direct view of the Rhine river and German urban centers during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Costa Brava

Stunning views of the rugged Mediterranean coastline and the Bay of Roses during the initial ascent.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Views of Mount Canigou and the area where the mountain range descends toward the sea.

🏙️

Luxembourg City

The historic capital of Luxembourg with its deep river gorges and fortifications visible from high altitude.

🚢

The Rhine River

The iconic German waterway winding through the landscape during the approach to Weeze.

⛪

Cologne & Düsseldorf

Distant views of the Cologne Cathedral and the industrial heart of the Rhine-Ruhr region before landing.

The right side is ideal for capturing the Mediterranean coastline at departure. During the descent, keep an eye out for the distinct silver ribbon of the Rhine. Evening flights offer spectacular 'Golden Hour' lighting on the German urban landscapes.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees shortly after takeoff as the plane heads north.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscape of central France, featuring the distinctive Chaîne des Puys.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glances of the winding Loire River and the dense forests of central-northern France.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

Deep green hilly terrain covering the border regions of France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Sit on the left for the best views of the high Pyrenean peaks during the first 15 minutes of the flight. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better lighting for photography without window glare.
