REU â PIK
Which side of the plane to sit from Reus Air Base (Reus) to Glasgow Prestwick Airport (Prestwick)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with the western Pyrenees, the dramatic Atlantic coastline of France, and ending with a stunning approach over the Firth of Clyde and the Isle of Arran.
Western Pyrenees
Aerial views of the rugged peaks and deep valleys near the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park as you cross into France.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the jagged coastline of the French Basque country.
Biarritz Coastline
Clear views of the famous beaches and the rocky outcrops of the southwestern French coast during the ascent.
Isle of Man
Depending on the flight path, the distinct silhouette of this island in the Irish Sea can be seen mid-flight.
Isle of Arran
Often called 'Scotland in Miniature', this island provides a breathtaking backdrop during the final descent into Prestwick.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left side during a late afternoon flight. The sun will illuminate the Scottish islands and the coastline of the Firth of Clyde without creating direct glare. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the iconic view of Ailsa Craig.
Montserrat Mountain
Visible shortly after takeoff from Reus, this unique multi-peaked mountain range is a Catalan landmark.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Fly over the sprawling, meticulously organized vineyards of the world's most famous wine region in France.
Snowdonia National Park
As you enter UK airspace, look out for the highest peaks in Wales and the rugged terrain of the Glynau mountains.
The Lake District
Glittering views of England's largest natural lakes including Windermere and the surrounding fells.
Liverpool & Manchester
Distant views of the urban sprawl and industrial history of North West England as the plane heads north.
Sit on the right for the best views of the high Central Pyrenees immediately after departure. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. During the final phase of the flight, the right side offers views of the Southern Uplands of Scotland as you cross the border.
