Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the London skyline during departure, potential distant views of Paris, and a spectacular reveal of the Mediterranean coastline and Pyrenees peaks as you arrive in Girona.
London Skyline
Panoramic views of the Thames, The Shard, and Canary Wharf shortly after departing Luton.
English Channel Crossing
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near Dieppe or Le Touquet.
Distant Paris
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and its distinctive landmarks are visible to the east.
Eastern Pyrenees
The dramatic wall of the Pyrenees mountains as the flight transitions from France into Spain.
Costa Brava Coastline
Stunning views of the turquoise Mediterranean and the rugged cliffs of the Spanish coast on approach.
Sit in front of the wing (rows 1-10) to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses; however, the lighting for photos of the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava is usually best from this vantage point during the afternoon descent.
Chiltern Hills
Immediate views of the rolling green landscapes of the UK's 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Vast stretches of the French countryside and the winding Loire river dotted with historic chรขteaux.
Massif Central
The volcanic peaks and rugged terrain of south-central France are often visible to the west.
Lake Banyoles
A beautiful natural lake and the surrounding Catalan hills as the plane enters the Girona corridor.
Montserrat
The unique, serrated peaks of the Montserrat mountain range can often be spotted in the far distance.
This side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the French countryside. It offers a more peaceful view of rural France and avoids the direct glare of the sun during morning departures from London. Look for Lake Banyoles just minutes before landing.
