NRN โ GRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the extinct volcanoes in central France and a dramatic crossing over the high peaks of the Pyrenees.
Chaรฎne des Puys
Witness the spectacular chain of over 80 extinct volcanoes in the Massif Central, including the iconic Puy de Dรดme.
The Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the mountain range that divides France and Spain, featuring sharp peaks and deep valleys.
Carcassonne
Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the famous medieval walled city just north of the Pyrenees.
Banyoles Lake
A large, beautiful natural lake located just north of Girona, often visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is essential for geology enthusiasts. Watch the ground about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the volcanic craters of Auvergne. For the best views of the Pyrenees, ensure your window is clear of the wing; choose a seat either in front of or well behind the wing structure.
Eifel & Ardennes
View the rolling green hills and dense forests along the German, Belgian, and Luxembourgish borders shortly after takeoff.
Metz and Nancy
Spot these historic cities in northeastern France, characterized by their distinct urban layouts and the Moselle river.
Distant Alps
On very clear days, look far to the east to see the jagged, snow-capped horizon of the Swiss and French Alps.
Gulf of Lion
As the plane descends into Girona, you can see the distant sparkle of the Mediterranean Sea and the coastline near Montpellier.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for catching a glimpse of the Alps on the distant horizon during clear weather in the middle section of the flight.
