Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Spanish interior upon departure and a dramatic perspective of the Venezuelan coastal mountains during the final descent into Caracas.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Madrid & Southern Suburbs

Bird's-eye view of the Spanish capital's expansion and the dry, rolling landscapes of the Meseta Central.

🏜️

Extremadura Plains

The rugged, golden terrain of western Spain, dotted with Holm oak forests and ancient riverbeds.

🌊

Mid-Atlantic Vastness

Deep blue oceanic views for several hours, often featuring high-altitude cloud formations typical of the trade wind belt.

🏝️

Lesser Antilles Chain

On clear southern tracks, you may spot the distant outlines of Caribbean islands like Barbados or Grenada.

⛰️

Cordillera de la Costa

The stunning mountain range that rises sharply from the sea to separate Caracas from the Caribbean coastline.

Choose the left side to keep the sun behind the aircraft for most of this westbound daylight journey, reducing window glare. This side is also better for viewing the 'El Avila' mountain range as the plane turns for its final approach at Maiquetía.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🏞️

Sierra de Guadarrama

If departing to the north, spectacular views of the mountain peaks that border the Madrid region.

💧

Tagus River Valley

Views of the Iberian Peninsula's longest river winding its way toward the Portuguese border.

☁️

Atmospheric Horizons

Excellent for photographers looking to capture the curvature of the earth and clean oceanic sunsets.

🏖️

Caribbean Seashore

As the plane aligns with the runway, you get a close-up view of the turquoise waters and the Port of La Guaira.

The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy wide-open ocean horizons. Be aware that during the afternoon, direct sunlight may make it quite warm and bright on this side of the cabin. Watch for shipping lanes near the Caribbean islands.
