Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the European coastline, spanning from the Dutch polders and the English Channel to the pristine sandy stretches of the Silver Coast and a dramatic final approach over the Bay of Biscay.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇩🇰

Danish Archipelago

Views of the islands of Lolland and Falster and the massive Fehmarn Belt construction site.

🇳🇱

The Randstad

The incredible engineering of Dutch polders, the Port of Rotterdam, and the North Sea coastline.

🛥️

English Channel

Views of the busiest shipping lane in the world and the distant white cliffs of the UK.

🏖️

Côte d'Argent

The massive, unbroken sandy beaches of the Landes forest stretching toward the horizon.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The deep blue Atlantic Ocean as the plane banks over the water for its final landing sequence.

🗼

Biarritz Lighthouse

A close-up view of the Phare de Biarritz and the rugged coastline just before touching down.

The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Atlantic. During the approach into BIQ, the aircraft often flies out over the sea before turning 180 degrees; this provides a spectacular view of the Biarritz surf beaches and the 'Rocher de la Vierge' just before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🇸🇪

Södermanland Lakes

Aerial views of the dense forests and countless small lakes surrounding Nyköping and Skavsta.

🇩🇪

Lower Saxony Plains

The geometric patterns of Northern German agriculture and the winding Weser River.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant skyline of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the west of the flight path.

🍷

Loire Valley

The heart of France's garden, featuring the meandering Loire River and numerous historic châteaux.

⛰️

Pyrenees Vista

A stunning panoramic view of the snow-capped Pyrenees peaks as you descend into the Basque Country.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy softer light over the French countryside. This side is superior for spotting the distant mountain ranges of Central France and the Pyrenees. Watch for the Garonne River near Bordeaux, which signals the final leg of the journey.
