REU → NCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Reus Air Base (Reus) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an exceptional combination of the rugged Pyrenees mountain range, the sweeping Atlantic coastline of France, and the dramatic approach over the North Pennines in England.

Costa Daurada
Aerial views of the golden beaches and turquoise waters around Tarragona and Salou immediately after takeoff from Reus.
Central Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high peaks separating Spain and France, often featuring snow-capped summits and deep glacial valleys.
Bay of Biscay Coast
Stunning views of the French Atlantic coastline, including the mouth of the Gironde estuary and the sandy beaches of Les Landes.
Severn Estuary
As you enter UK airspace, look for the massive Severn Bridges connecting England and Wales across the wide silty estuary.
North Pennines
On the descent, the rugged moorland and 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' provides a stark, beautiful landscape just before landing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while viewing the French coast. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the left side often catches a glimpse of the Lake District mountains in the far distance if the skies are clear.

Durham Cathedral
Depending on the arrival pattern, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Durham Cathedral and Castle can be seen perched above the River Wear.
The right side is superior for evening flights as the setting sun illuminates the English countryside with a golden hue. On the approach to NCL, the right side usually provides the best views of the Durham skyline and the Tyne Bridge if the plane approaches from the south. Watch for the 'White Horse of Kilburn' on the hillsides of North Yorkshire.
