Which side of the plane to sit from Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the majority of the flight crosses the Atlantic, the Right Side is superior due to the spectacular approach into Toulouse, offering panoramic views of the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains and the northern Spanish coastline.
Atlantic Sunrise
As an eastbound flight, the right side witnesses a spectacular sunrise over the ocean horizon mid-flight.
Azores Archipelago
Depending on the specific jet stream route, you may see the volcanic peaks of the Azores islands in the distance.
Cantabrian Mountains
Views of the rugged northern coast of Spain and the Picos de Europa if the flight path tracks slightly south.
The Pyrenees
The absolute highlight; a massive wall of peaks separating Spain and France, visible during the final descent into Toulouse.
Occitanie Landscapes
Rolling hills, medieval villages, and French farmsteads during the final approach to Blagnac.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best experience, ensure you are awake at least 45 minutes before landing. The Pyrenees are visible to the south and are breathtaking, especially in winter when covered in snow. Note that the sun will be on this side for much of the day, so keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to stay cool.
Uvero Alto Coastline
Final views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the Dominican Republic shortly after takeoff.
North Atlantic Expanse
Deep blue oceanic views for the majority of the crossing, often featuring interesting cloud formations.
Bay of Biscay
The first glimpse of the European continent, focusing on the French Atlantic coast and the Gironde Estuary.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Aerial patterns of the famous wine-producing regions of Aquitaine as the plane begins its descent.
Garonne River
The winding path of the Garonne as it snakes through the Occitanie countryside toward Toulouse.
Sit on the left if you prefer softer light, as the sun will mostly be on the opposite side during this eastbound journey. Watch for the French coastline about 1 hour before landing. If the flight arrives in the morning, the light over the French vineyards is particularly golden and photogenic.
