Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the majestic Pyrenees mountain range and an unparalleled view of the medieval Cité de Carcassonne during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🍷

Douro Valley

Lush terraced vineyards visible shortly after departure from Porto heading inland.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Stunning limestone peaks and deep valleys in the Cantabrian Mountains of Northern Spain.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

An extended sequence of snow-capped peaks and high-altitude glacial lakes as you track east along the border.

🏰

Cité de Carcassonne

The world-famous UNESCO medieval fortress usually appears on the right side during the descent and landing pattern.

The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes before landing for the iconic view of the medieval city walls.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Bay of Biscay Coastline

Dramatic views of the rugged Cantabrian cliffs and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic.

🏢

Bilbao & San Sebastián

The distinct urban layouts of the Basque Country's most famous coastal cities and their golden beaches.

🌲

Landes Forest

The vast expanse of the largest maritime pine forest in Europe appearing as a sea of green in SW France.

🏖️

Biarritz & Hossegor

Bird's-eye view of the surf-heavy coastline where the French and Spanish borders meet.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the jagged Spanish coast to the flat, sandy beaches of the French Silver Coast.
