Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for major mountain ranges including the Hindu Kush and Pyrenees, alongside the scenic French Riviera and the potential for an iconic Istanbul flyover.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Hindu Kush Peaks

Incredible views of the high-altitude, snow-dusted mountains of Afghanistan shortly after takeoff.

🕌

Bosphorus Strait

On northerly routes, catch the spectacular sight of Istanbul bridging the gap between Asia and Europe.

🏔️

The Alps

Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped European Alps visible while crossing central Europe.

🏖️

French Riviera

The glamorous coastline of the Cote d'Azur, featuring turquoise waters and dense coastal developments.

⛰️

Pyrenees Range

The jagged peaks marking the border between France and Spain, visible just before the descent into Catalonia.

⛪

Eixample District

View the unique octagonal city blocks of Barcelona and the Sagrada Familia if the plane approaches from the north.

The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to see the Hindu Kush in peak light. Ensure you are awake for the final 90 minutes of the flight to see the French coast and the approach into Barcelona.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Islamabad Cityscape

Aerial views of the organized sectors of Islamabad and the lush Margalla Hills during the initial climb.

🏜️

Iranian Plateau

Dramatic vistas of the rugged Zagros mountain folds and the vast, arid landscapes of central Iran.

🌊

Aegean Sea

A beautiful expanse of deep blue water dotted with the white-washed structures of the Greek islands.

🇮🇹

Southern Italy

Views of the 'toe' of Italy and the Tyrrhenian Sea as the flight moves toward the western Mediterranean.

⚓

Barcelona Port

A close-up view of the massive Mediterranean cruise terminal and cargo port during the final approach.

For day flights, sit here to minimize direct glare from the sun when flying westbound. This side is excellent for spotting the scattered islands of Greece and the coastal contours of the Mediterranean.
