REULPL

Which side of the plane to sit from Reus Air Base (Reus) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the rugged Welsh mountains and the stunning Atlantic coastline of the Bay of Biscay during the transit through France and the UK.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Costa Daurada

Panoramic views of the golden beaches and the Mediterranean coastline near Tarragona immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Basque Pyrenees

Glimpses of the western Pyrenees mountain range as the flight crosses the border from Spain into France.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Deep blue waters and the jagged coastline of southwestern France are often visible depending on the flight corridor.

🏞️

Eryri National Park

Aerial views of the Snowdonia mountain range in North Wales, featuring dramatic peaks and glacial valleys during the descent.

⚓

Anglesey Island

The northwestern tip of Wales and the Menai Strait are frequently visible as the plane maneuvers toward Liverpool.

For the most vibrant colors of the Welsh landscape, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. This side is also superior for spotting the Ebro Delta early in the flight if the plane makes a southern loop after departure.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
⛪

Montserrat

The iconic multi-peaked sawtooth mountain range located near Barcelona can often be spotted to the east.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees range, including Aneto, appearing as a wall of rock and snow.

🍷

Bordeaux Region

Look for the sprawling vineyards and the Garonne river as the aircraft traverses central-western France.

🚤

Mersey Estuary

The wide expanse of the River Mersey opens up beneath the wing during the final approach into John Lennon Airport.

🏙️

Liverpool Skyline

A prime view of the city center, the historic docks, and the iconic Liver Building just moments before touchdown.

The right side is essential for passengers who want to see the Liverpool city center and the Wirral Peninsula on landing. If traveling in the late afternoon, this side will be shaded, which is better for taking photos without window glare.
