Which side of the plane to sit from Es Senia Airport (Oran) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most diverse scenery, including views of the Balearic Islands, the Catalan coastline featuring Barcelona, and the dramatic snowy ridges of the eastern Pyrenees.
Balearic Vistas
Depending on the specific airway, you may spot Ibiza or Mallorca glinting in the Mediterranean.
Barcelona Skyline
A fantastic perspective of the Catalan capital, including the Sagrada FamΓlia and the distinct Eixample grid.
Montserrat Massif
The unique, serrated multi-peaked mountain range located just inland from the Barcelona coast.
Pyrenees Orientales
A breathtaking crossing of the snow-capped border, often passing near the peaks of Andorra.
Languedoc Vineyards
Aerial views of the sprawling vineyards and medieval villages of the Aude and Haute-Garonne departments.
Choose the right side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is consistently better for spotting major landmarks like Barcelona. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the coastline transition.
Oran & Santa Cruz
Immediate views of the Oran coastline and the historic Fort of Santa Cruz perched on Mount Murdjadjo.
Alboran Sea
The deep blue transition from the North African continental shelf into the Mediterranean.
Spanish Levante
Distant views of the Spanish coastline near Valencia and the Ebro River mouth.
Central Pyrenees
Views of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees range as the plane crosses the border into France.
Occitanie Plains
The scenic patchwork of sunflower fields and agriculture typical of Southwestern France during descent.
Sit on the left if you want to see the city of Oran clearly during the initial climb. This side is also better during evening flights to watch the sunset over the Spanish interior as you head north.
