Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a spectacular journey along the Mediterranean coastline, providing bird's-eye views of the French Riviera and a stunning approach over the Spanish coast into Valencia.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Southern Carpathians

Rugged peaks and dense forests of Romania visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🚤

Venetian Lagoon

The intricate network of islands and the distinctive shape of Venice appearing along the Adriatic coast.

🇫🇷

French Riviera

The glamorous coastline of Nice, Cannes, and the deep blue waters of the Côte d'Azur.

🌆

Barcelona Cityscape

A clear view of the Eixample grid layout, the Sagrada Familia, and the busy Mediterranean port.

🌊

Mediterranean Approach

Final descent often provides a sweeping view of the Balearic Sea before turning into Valencia.

Choose a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, making it easier to take photos of the coastline without glare. During the final approach, look for the City of Arts and Sciences as the plane aligns with the runway.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Kiev Skyline

A final look at the Dnieper River and the golden domes of Kiev's historic cathedrals during takeoff.

🏔️

The High Alps

Dominant views of the snow-capped Austrian and Swiss Alps, including major glaciers and massifs.

🍷

Rhône Valley

The winding Rhône river and the world-famous vineyards of the southern French countryside.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

The dramatic limestone peaks and high-altitude lakes forming the border between France and Spain.

🍊

Valencian Huerta

A patchwork of orange groves and agricultural fields surrounding the city during landing.

The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts, offering the most direct views of the Alpine and Pyrenean ranges. Afternoon flights on this side may experience harsh direct sunlight, so have your window shade ready. Watch for the transformation from green European plains to the arid Spanish interior.
