Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Reus Air Base (Reus)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees and the scenic Atlantic coastline of France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Snowdonia Peaks

The rugged mountains of North Wales are often visible shortly after departure from Liverpool.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

Vast stretches of world-famous vineyards in the Aquitaine region of Southwest France.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

The flight's crown jewel, featuring jagged, snow-capped peaks forming the border between France and Spain.

🏖️

Costa Daurada

Golden sandy beaches and turquoise waters as the plane banks toward Reus Air Base.

This side is essential for mountain lovers; the Pyrenees crossing typically occurs about 90 minutes into the flight. If flying in winter, the snow cover on the mountains is spectacular. Note that afternoon flights may face the sun, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Liverpool & Mersey

Aerial views of the iconic Liver Building and the Mersey Estuary immediately after takeoff.

🚢

English Channel

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from the UK to mainland Europe.

🏰

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and glimpses of historic chateaus.

🏛️

Tarragona Ruins

The ancient Roman amphitheater and coastal fortifications visible during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the best lighting over the French countryside without direct sun glare. During the descent into Reus, keep an eye out for the distant peaks of Montserrat and the urban sprawl of Barcelona to the northeast.
