IEV → GRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (Kiev) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the majestic Alpine range and the Eastern Pyrenees during the descent into Catalonia, with better lighting conditions to avoid direct southern glare.
Search flights from IEV to GRO
Kiev City Center
If the plane departs toward the North or West, you get a clear view of the Golden Domes and Pechersk Lavra.
Budapest & The Danube
A spectacular view of the Hungarian capital and the winding Danube river cutting through the Pannonian Basin.
The High Alps
The star attraction: hundreds of miles of snow-capped peaks stretching across Austria, Switzerland, and France.
Provence Countryside
View the rolling hills, lavender fields, and vineyards of Southern France as you approach the Spanish border.
Eastern Pyrenees
As the plane banks for Girona, the eastern edge of the Pyrenees provides a dramatic backdrop to the Catalan landscape.
The right side is ideal for photography because the sun is usually positioned on the left (south) side of the aircraft, providing even lighting on the Alps. Look out for the snow-covered peaks about 90-120 minutes into the flight. In winter, the Pyrenees look particularly impressive on the approach to Girona.

Dnipro River Bend
Visible shortly after takeoff from IEV, offering views of the southern outskirts of Kiev and the river's winding path.
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the rugged Romanian mountain peaks as the flight traverses towards Central Europe.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake appears as a long turquoise ribbon in the heart of Hungary.
Adriatic Coastline
Stunning views of the Italian coast near Venice and the northern Adriatic islands depending on the exact airway.
The Costa Brava
Upon arrival, the rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia with its hidden coves and turquoise Mediterranean waters.
The left side is prone to direct sunlight glare for most of the flight heading West-Southwest. It is best for early morning flights to see the sunrise reflect off the Adriatic Sea. During the final approach into GRO, this side provides the best view of the Mediterranean coastline.
