PIK â REU
Which side of the plane to sit from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (Prestwick) to Reus Air Base (Reus)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Pyrenees crossing and the unique Montserrat mountain range during the descent into the Catalonia region.
Lake District
View the rolling hills and glacial ribbon lakes of Cumbria shortly after departure.
English Midlands
Glimpse the sprawling urban landscapes of Manchester and the Peak District National Park.
Massif Central
Observe the ancient volcanic peaks and deep river gorges of south-central France.
Eastern Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the high alpine peaks forming the border between France and Spain.
Montserrat
The iconic multi-peaked serrated mountain range and its famous monastery near Barcelona.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pyrenees. This side is particularly breathtaking during morning flights when the rising sun illuminates the French countryside and the rugged Spanish peaks. Watch for the sharp contrast between the green French forests and the more arid Spanish terrain as you cross the border.
Isle of Man
A clear view of the island in the middle of the Irish Sea shortly after take-off.
Snowdonia Peaks
The rugged mountains of North Wales and the dramatic coastline of the Llyn Peninsula.
Bay of Biscay
The sweeping coastline of western France, including the beaches of the Silver Coast.
Bordeaux Region
Aerial views of the Garonne river and the world-famous vineyards of southwestern France.
Costa Daurada
The golden beaches and turquoise waters of the Mediterranean as you descend toward Reus.
The right side provides excellent views of the Welsh coastline and the Atlantic edge of France. During sunset flights, this side offers a spectacular golden hour over the Bay of Biscay. Look out for the Ebro Delta to the south during the final approach if the plane circles before landing.
