MANREU

Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Reus Air Base (Reus)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a dramatic transition from the French Atlantic coast to the high Pyrenees, concluding with a scenic approach over the Ebro Valley and the Costa Dorada landmarks.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

Stunning views of the French coast near La Rochelle and the islands of the Bay of Biscay.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

The highest snow-capped summits of the mountain range visible during the transition into Spanish airspace.

🚜

Ebro River Valley

The massive river system carving through the Spanish landscape, creating a lush green belt through arid terrain.

🎢

PortAventura World

Clear aerial views of the Shambhala and Dragon Khan rollercoasters during the final approach to Reus.

🏛️

Roman Tarragona

The ancient amphitheater and Mediterranean harbor of Tarragona visible just before the wheels touch down.

The right side is essential for seeing the coastline and theme parks during landing. For the best views of the Pyrenees, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the east.

🏙️

Manchester Skyline

Initial views of the Manchester city center and the Etihad Stadium immediately after departure from runway 23R.

🏰

Loire Valley

Aerial perspective of the winding rivers and historic chateaus of central France during the cruise phase.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Rugged mountain terrain and craggy peaks as the aircraft crosses the border from France into Catalonia.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly good for spotting the Massif Central region of France mid-flight.
