Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged northern coast of Menorca during departure and an impressive view of the Pyrenees mountains against the Mediterranean coastline during the approach to Girona.

Fornells Bay

The large, sheltered bay on Menorca's north coast, famous for its traditional fishing village.

๐Ÿš

Cap de Creus

The easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Pyrenees mountains plunge into the sea.

The Pyrenees

Spectacular views of the snow-capped Pyrenean peaks stretching across the horizon to the north.

A clear view of the Onyar River and the massive Gothic Cathedral of Girona just before touchdown.

The right side is highly recommended for evening flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Pyrenees. Be sure to look out approximately 10 minutes before landing to spot the Cap de Creus peninsula and the Bay of Roses.
