Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Mediterranean coast, the most dramatic peaks of the Pyrenees, and a distant but striking view of the French Alps before crossing the Rhine.

Right Side Highlights

🌊

Alboran Sea

Deep blue Mediterranean waters with occasional views of cargo ships entering the Strait of Gibraltar.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

The white sandy beaches and coastal mountain ranges of eastern Spain.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Spectacular views of the highest peaks in the range, often snow-capped even in late spring.

❄️

The Alps

On clear days, the French and Swiss Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible on the eastern horizon.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as the flight enters German airspace.

🚢

Rhine River

The iconic European waterway with its steep banks and historic castle ruins near the destination.

The right side is ideal for morning flights for the best lighting on the Alps. Keep your camera ready approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing, which is the scenic highlight of the route.

Melilla Coastline

Aerial view of the Spanish enclave and the rugged Cape Three Forks immediately after takeoff.

🏜️

Meseta Central

The vast, reddish-brown plateaus of inner Spain stretching towards the western horizon.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

The jagged transition from the Spanish plains into the lush green French valleys.

Moselle Valley

Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a great perspective of the Spanish interior and the rural heart of France. Watch for the lights of Madrid in the far distance if flying at night.
