Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular continuous view of the Western Mediterranean coastline, providing a front-row seat to the Camargue wetlands, the Pyrenees mountains, and a detailed aerial view of Barcelona's iconic urban grid.
Camargue Wetlands
Directly after takeoff, look for the unique pink salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone delta.
Eastern Pyrenees
As the plane approaches the Franco-Spanish border, the rugged peaks of the Pyrenees are visible inland.
Barcelona Panorama
A stunning view of the Sagrada Familia, the Eixample district grid, and the busy Port Vell.
Montserrat Massif
The distinct, serrated silhouette of the Montserrat mountain range stands out inland from the Catalan coast.
Costa Dorada
Aerial views of the golden sand beaches and the Roman ruins of Tarragona as the flight proceeds south.
The right side is significantly more scenic. Sit in front of or behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Barcelona's architecture. Afternoon flights provide the best light for the Spanish coastline, though you should bring sunglasses as the sun will be on this side. In winter, the snow-capped Pyrenees are a major highlight visible inland.
Gulf of Lion
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea for the majority of the flight duration.
Valencia Port
A grand perspective of the massive container ships and docks at the Port of Valencia during the descent.
Sea Horizons
Excellent for morning flights to witness the sunrise reflecting across the water surface.
Choose the left side for a more tranquil experience with vast sea horizons. If the flight arrives in Valencia from the south, you might catch a glimpse of the L'Albufera freshwater lagoon and its surrounding rice paddies. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for port activity.
