Which side of the plane to sit from Lviv International Airport (Lvov) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the French Riviera, and provides a scenic approach over the Gulf of Valencia upon arrival.
Eastern Carpathians
Lush, forested ridges visible shortly after takeoff from Lviv as the plane crosses into Central Europe.
Lake Balaton
The sprawling turquoise waters of Central Europe's largest lake are often visible while traversing Hungary.
French Riviera
A stunning perspective of the Cote d'Azur, featuring the coastline of Nice and the glitzy yacht-filled harbors.
Valencia Port
During the final descent, enjoy a birds-eye view of one of the Mediterranean's busiest and most modern ports.
City of Arts and Sciences
The futuristic white structures of Valencia's iconic cultural complex are often visible on the left side during the landing pattern.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of flight as the aircraft banks over the Mediterranean to line up with the VLC runway, offering the best views of the city's skyline.
Tatra Mountains
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the High Tatras are visible to the north in the early stages of the flight.
Swiss and French Alps
A distant but majestic view of the high alpine peaks, potentially including Mont Blanc depending on the flight corridor.
Rhone Valley
The deep valley of the Rhone River, famous for its world-class vineyards and historical French towns.
The Pyrenees
The rugged natural border between France and Spain, offering dramatic rock formations and deep canyons.
Montserrat Massif
The unique, multi-peaked mountain range near Barcelona is often visible as the flight enters Spanish airspace.
The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts, offering views of the Alps and Pyrenees. For winter flights, the low sun angle can create dramatic shadows on the mountain peaks, making for excellent photography opportunities mid-flight.
