Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Alpine peaks during the mid-flight crossing and a breathtaking perspective of the Mediterranean coastline and Barcelona city during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Sudetes Range

View the scenic border mountains between Poland and Czechia shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

❄️

The High Alps

Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks in Switzerland and Austria, including the Valais and Bernese Alps.

💧

Lake Geneva

The southern crescent of the lake and the city of Geneva appearing nestled in the valley below.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The vast expanse of the Mediterranean as you cross the French coastline near Montpellier.

🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

On standard approaches to runway 25R, enjoy views of the Sagrada Familia and Eixample district.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so use a polarizer if filming. The Alpine crossing usually occurs 60-80 minutes after takeoff. During the BCN approach, this side is best for seeing the city's unique grid layout.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌳

German Lowlands

Rolling green landscapes of Saxony and Bavaria as the plane cruises southwest.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

Rugged limestone ridges and deep valleys stretching along the French-Swiss border.

🍷

Rhone Valley

The winding river and famous vineyards of southern France visible through the clouds.

🌋

Massif Central

Ancient volcanic peaks and high plateaus of central France stretching toward the Pyrenees.

⛪

Montserrat

The unique, jagged silhouette of the Montserrat monastery mountain just before the final turn for landing.

Ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of Montserrat approximately 15 minutes before touchdown. If the plane performs a 'sea approach' from the south, you will get a great view of the Port of Barcelona and the cruise terminals.
