Which side of the plane to sit from Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the French landscape, including the famous Loire Valley châteaux and a stunning panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range on the horizon during the approach into Toulouse.
Picardy Plains
The geometric beauty of Northern France's vast agricultural heartland unfolding shortly after departure.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' where the majestic Loire river meets historic châteaux and sprawling vineyards.
Limousin Forests
Transition into the lush, green landscapes of Central France characterized by dense woodlands and blue lakes.
Pyrenees Panorama
A magnificent view of the snow-capped mountain border between France and Spain during the final 15 minutes of flight.
Airbus Assembly Lines
A unique look at the massive A350 and A320 assembly plants located right next to the Toulouse-Blagnac runway.
The right side is essential for spotting the Pyrenees mountains on the horizon during descent. Book an afternoon flight to see the landscape bathed in golden hour light. As you land, look for the 'Beluga' transport planes often parked outside the Airbus factories located on the western side of the airport.
Lille Metropolitan Area
Aerial views of the 'Capital of Flanders' and its distinct northern red-brick architecture immediately after takeoff.
Paris Airspace Fringes
On clear days, spot the massive infrastructure of Charles de Gaulle Airport and the distant Eiffel Tower silhouette.
Auvergne Volcanoes
Dramatic views of the Chaîne des Puys, featuring unique dormant volcanic cones in the Massif Central region.
Albi & the Tarn
The red-hued cityscape of Albi and the winding Tarn river visible during the descent from the north-east.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinctive circular volcanic peaks of the Auvergne region roughly 40 minutes into the flight. If the flight approaches Toulouse from the east, you will have a front-row seat to the historic city center known as the 'Ville Rose'.
