Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with the Mediterranean coastline, followed by a dramatic crossing of the eastern Pyrenees and distant views of the French Alps.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ–οΈ

Costa Daurada

Stunning coastal views of Salou, Tarragona, and the Mediterranean Sea during the initial climb.

πŸ”οΈ

The Pyrenees

A breathtaking traverse over the high-altitude, snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France.

🍷

RhΓ΄ne Valley

The fertile river corridor and distant views of the vibrant city of Lyon.

❄️

The French Alps

On clear days, the jagged white skyline of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, is visible on the far horizon.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

The lush, rolling green hills of the Ardennes as the aircraft enters Belgian airspace.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. The Pyrenees crossing happens roughly 20-30 minutes into the flight. Keep your camera ready for the contrast between the Mediterranean blue and the mountain snow. In winter, the distant Alps appear much sharper on the horizon due to clearer air.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Montserrat Range

The iconic jagged limestone peaks of Catalonia's most famous mountain range.

πŸŒ‹

Massif Central

Expansive views of the ancient volcanic plateaus and craters in central France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glimpses of the winding river and the historic architectural landscape of central-northern France.

πŸ™οΈ

Mons and Charleroi

The urban sprawl and industrial heritage of the Walloon region as you descend.

Sit on the left to avoid the harsh glare of the morning sun. This side is better for spotting the unique rock formations of Montserrat shortly after departure and the geometric patterns of French agriculture in the north. During the late afternoon, the lighting on the landscape here is particularly soft and photographic.
