Which side of the plane to sit from Weeze Airport (Weeze) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the high Pyrenees and a spectacular final approach over the Mediterranean Sea, showcasing the Port of Valencia and the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic landscape and ancient plateaus of South-Central France.
High Pyrenees
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as you cross from France into Spain.
Costa del Azahar
The 'Orange Blossom Coast' with its turquoise waters and coastal resorts.
Port of Valencia
A bird's-eye view of one of the Mediterranean's largest and most active shipping hubs.
City of Arts and Sciences
The iconic white futuristic structures designed by Santiago Calatrava visible on final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. During the final 10 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the urban landscape of Valencia, as this side typically faces the city during the most common landing patterns.
Ardennes & Meuse
Winding rivers and dense forests near the German-Belgian border shortly after takeoff.
Burgundy Region
The famous patchwork of vineyards and historic estates in Eastern France.
Ebro River Basin
The vast, meandering path of Spain's most significant river cutting through the landscape.
Iberian System
The rugged, arid mountain ranges of Teruel and Cuenca as you approach the Valencian community.
Albufera Natural Park
The massive freshwater lagoon and rice paddies south of Valencia, famous for its sunsets.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour lighting over the Spanish interior. If the plane approaches VLC from the south, you will get an excellent view of the Albufera lagoon. However, be aware that the sun will be on this side for much of the journey south, which may require closing the window shade occasionally.
