REU β BRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Reus Air Base (Reus) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes including the high peaks of the Pyrenees, the famous vineyards of Bordeaux, and the iconic aerial approach into Bristol featuring the Severn Estuary.
The Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the high mountain range marking the border between Spain and France.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Geometric patterns of the world-famous wine estates along the Garonne River.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring winding rivers and glimpses of historic chateaux.
Severn Estuary
The massive bridges connecting England and Wales as you descend into the Bristol area.
Bristol City & Bridge
Aerial view of Bristol's colorful houses and the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge on final approach.
Early morning flights provide the best lighting for the Pyrenees peaks. On the final approach to Bristol, keep your camera ready for the Severn Bridges and the Mendip Hills. If the plane circles before landing, you may get a perfect view of Bristol city center.
Dune du Pilat
Europe's tallest sand dune, visible on the French Atlantic coast near Arcachon.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic and the rugged western coastline of France.
Lorient and Brittany
The jagged peninsulas and historic naval ports of the Brittany region.
English Channel
Observation of major shipping lanes and the transition into British airspace.
Devon Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and hidden coves of the South West English coast upon arrival.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also better for spotting the French islands of OlΓ©ron and RΓ© as you pass the Bay of Biscay.
