Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more diverse range of landmarks, including the Danish coastline, the rugged Pyrenees mountains, and the iconic Montserrat massif during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒ‰

ร–resund Bridge

The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Malmรถ and Copenhagen across the strait.

๐Ÿšข

Hamburg & Elbe River

One of Europe's largest ports and the winding path of the Elbe through Northern Germany.

๐ŸŒ‹

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of South-Central France.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Pyrenees Mountains

The dramatic snow-capped border between France and Spain, offering the flight's most spectacular views.

๐Ÿชจ

Montserrat

The unique, jagged mountain peaks housing the famous Benedictine abbey just north of Barcelona.

The right side is the 'landmark side.' For the best views of the Pyrenees, avoid sitting directly over the wing. If you are flying in the late afternoon, expect some sun glare, but the golden hour lighting on the French countryside and the mountain peaks is often worth the brightness.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช

Swedish Coastline

View of the Baltic Sea and the intricate archipelago systems south of Stockholm.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Rรผgen Island

The white chalk cliffs and sandy shores of Germany's largest island in the Baltic.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Distant Alpine Peaks

On very clear days, the northern edges of the Alps may be visible on the far horizon over Central Europe.

๐ŸŒŠ

Costa Brava

The rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia as the aircraft begins its descent toward Barcelona.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Barcelona Harbor

A great perspective of the W Hotel, the cruise ship terminals, and the Mediterranean coastline.

Sit on the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach if the plane performs a 'sea arrival,' as it provides a panoramic view of the Mediterranean horizon and the city's coastal architecture.
