Which side of the plane to sit from Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest) to Zaragoza Air Base (Zaragoza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring three major mountain ranges: the Carpathians, the Alps, and the Pyrenees, along with the glittering French Riviera.
Southern Carpathians
Rugged peaks and dense forests of the Transylvanian Alps shortly after takeoff from Bucharest.
Belgrade
The sprawling Serbian capital situated at the scenic confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
The Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Italian and French Alps, often including Mont Blanc on clear days.
French Riviera
The prestigious coastline of Nice, Cannes, and the principality of Monaco glowing against the sea.
Pyrenees Range
A dramatic crossing over the high-altitude peaks that separate France from the Iberian Peninsula.
Bardenas Reales
The semi-desert badlands of Navarre, offering a lunar-like landscape just north of Zaragoza.
This is the premier side for photography. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight so the sun illuminates the mountain faces from the south. The transition from the high, snowy Pyrenees to the arid, reddish plains of Aragon during the descent is one of the most visually striking segments of the flight.
Danube River
Aerial views of the massive river forming the natural border between Romania and Bulgaria.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and scattered islands of the Croatian Adriatic coastline.
Tuscany
The characteristic rolling hills and vineyards of central Italy as you cross the peninsula.
Corsica
Distant glimpses of the mountainous French island rising from the Mediterranean Sea.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the flight heads toward the Iberian coast.
Ebro Delta
The unique triangular wetland formation where the Ebro River meets the Balearic Sea.
On morning flights, use the window shade to block the southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the crystalline blue of the Adriatic and the intricate coastline of Italy's western shore. During the final approach, look for the green patches of the Ebro valley irrigation systems.
