LGW → SVQ
Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior coastal views of the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay, plus the dramatic Picos de Europa mountains and a better angle of Sevilla's historic center upon landing.
Channel Islands
Excellent views of Jersey and Guernsey shortly after crossing the English coast.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as you cross from France to Northern Spain.
Picos de Europa
Stunning limestone peaks visible when the flight path crosses the northern Spanish coastline.
Sevilla Skyline
Usually offers the best view of the Giralda and Plaza de España during the final turn for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic. During the approach into SVQ, planes often perform a U-turn over the city, giving right-side passengers a breathtaking panoramic view of the cathedral and historic districts.
Loire Valley
View the sprawling river systems and historic chateaus of central France.
Andalusian Groves
The iconic 'sea of olives' begins to appear as you cross into Southern Spain.
Sierra Morena
Rugged mountain ranges that serve as the gateway to the Andalusia region.
Cordoba Views
On the standard descent path, you may catch a glimpse of the historic city of Cordoba to the east.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for great views of the geometric agricultural patterns in central Spain. Watch for the Guadalquivir River winding through the landscape as you approach the final descent phase.
