Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route, offering a majestic panoramic view of the Alps shortly after takeoff and a stunning introduction to the Finnish Lakeland during the descent.
Costa Brava
Dramatic coastal views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the Gulf of Roses during the initial climb.
The Swiss Alps
Spectacular distant views of Mont Blanc and the high Alpine peaks of Switzerland and Austria.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the tri-border area of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Gotland and Saaremaa
The large, distinct shapes of Sweden's and Estonia's biggest islands visible in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Finnish Lakeland
The iconic 'Land of a Thousand Lakes' comes alive during the descent into Tampere, featuring an intricate maze of water and land.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographic transitions. The highlight is the Alpine range visible about 45-60 minutes into the flight. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the right side provides the classic Finnish aerial view of endless interconnected lakes and islands. This side is particularly beautiful during afternoon 'Golden Hour' flights.
The Pyrenees
Immediately after departure from Girona, look back for the rugged snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic landscapes and deep gorges of south-central France.
The Rhine Valley
Spot the winding Rhine River and the industrial heartlands of Western Germany.
Stockholm Archipelago
If the flight path trends west, catch glimpses of thousands of tiny islands along the Swedish coast.
Satakunta Forests
Dense, dark green boreal forests stretching toward the Gulf of Bothnia as you enter Finnish airspace.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers better views of the Swedish coastline if the aircraft takes a more westerly corridor over the Baltic Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinctive circular craters of the French volcanic regions early in the flight.
