Which side of the plane to sit from Almería International Airport (Almeria) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a spectacular perspective of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, the unique Ebro Delta, and the urban layout of Barcelona, followed by the eastern Pyrenees and the vineyard-rich landscapes of eastern France.
Spanish Mediterranean Coast
Continuous views of the Costa Cálida and Costa Blanca with their turquoise waters and white sand beaches.
Ebro Delta
The striking geometric patterns of the rice fields in one of the most important wetland areas in the Mediterranean.
Barcelona Panorama
A magnificent view of the Eixample district's grid system and the Sagrada Família as you fly north.
Burgundy Vineyards
The famous patchwork of some of the world's most prestigious wine-producing estates in eastern France.
Flemish Brabant
The rolling green landscapes and dense villages of Belgium during the final descent into Brussels.
The right side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts; watch for the Ebro Delta about 45 minutes into the flight. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. This side also offers a better chance of seeing the Brussels city center and the Atomium during the standard landing approach.
Sierra Nevada
Dramatic views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, shortly after departure from Almería.
Central Pyrenees
A direct view over the rugged, high-altitude mountain spine separating Spain from France.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep valleys of central France provide a textured green landscape.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and the occasional glimpse of historic chateaux.
Paris Distant View
Depending on the flight path, a chance to spot the western outskirts of Paris and the Eiffel Tower on the horizon.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Sierra Nevada mountains immediately after takeoff. This side is also superior for spotting the high-altitude peaks of the central Pyrenees. In the afternoon, this side will be in the shade, making it easier to take photos without sun glare.
