Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the central Pyrenees peaks, the French Atlantic islands, and a spectacular approach over the Jurassic Coast into Devon.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Catalan Coastline

Distant views of the Barcelona metropolitan area and the Costa Brava.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Pyrenees

Direct views of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto, often snow-capped year-round.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

รŽle de Rรฉ

The distinctive white salt pans and the long bridge connecting this island to La Rochelle.

๐ŸŒ‰

Loire Estuary

Where the Loire river meets the Atlantic near the industrial port of Saint-Nazaire.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฌ

Channel Islands

Clear views of Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark while crossing the English Channel.

๐ŸŒ…

The Jurassic Coast

Stunning red sandstone cliffs stretching from Sidmouth toward Exmouth during the final approach.

The right side is the star for coastal geography. Look out for the French islands near La Rochelle, which are very distinct from 30,000 feet. On final approach to Exeter, the red cliffs of the Jurassic Coast are a highlightโ€”aim for a window seat here if the flight is in the late afternoon for the best lighting on the cliffs.

The English Riviera

Views of Torbay, Paignton, and Brixham as the aircraft begins its final descent into Exeter.

Sit on the left for the best views of Mallorca's rugged coastline during departure. This side is also preferable for midday flights to minimize direct sun glare when traveling northward. During the approach to EXT, you may catch a glimpse of the Dartmoor National Park in the distance.
