NCL → REU
Which side of the plane to sit from Newcastle Airport (Newcastle) to Reus Air Base (Reus)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides superior views of the English coastline, the Massif Central, and a scenic coastal approach into Reus.
Durham Cathedral
Spot the iconic Norman cathedral standing over the River Wear shortly after takeoff from Newcastle.
English Channel Crossing
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the French coastline near the Pas-de-Calais.
Paris Basin
The sprawling suburbs and distant lights of the French capital are often visible on clear days.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic plateaus and deep valleys of south-central France offer dramatic terrain views.
Eastern Pyrenees
The dramatic meeting of the snow-capped mountains and the Mediterranean Sea near the Spanish border.
Costa Dorada
Golden beaches and the historic port city of Tarragona during the final descent into Reus.
Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography without sun glare. Watch the left side approximately 100 minutes into the flight for the best Pyrenees views. During the final 10 minutes, look for the PortAventura World theme park near the coast.
The Pennines
The 'backbone of England' provides a rugged landscape of moors and valleys visible during initial climb.
Loire Valley
View the winding rivers and patchwork fields of France's famous garden region from cruise altitude.
Bordeaux Region
Vast stretches of vineyards in southwest France visible before reaching the mountain border.
Central Pyrenees
The highest peaks of the range, including Aneto, are visible out the window as you cross into Spain.
Ebro River Valley
The fertile agricultural basin of northeast Spain contrasting with the surrounding dry hills.
Reus Countryside
A bird's-eye view of the rural Catalan landscape and vineyards surrounding the Reus Air Base.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. Use this side to spot the high alpine lakes in the Pyrenees. Be aware of solar glare when flying south during midday; keep window shades partially closed if necessary.
