REU β STN
Which side of the plane to sit from Reus Air Base (Reus) to London Stansted Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Mediterranean coastline during departure, better lighting for photography on morning flights, and the most iconic views of the Thames Estuary and the London skyline during the approach to Stansted.
Costa Daurada
Stunning aerial views of the city of Tarragona and the golden Mediterranean shoreline during the climb.
Eastern Pyrenees
High-altitude views of the mountain range border, featuring the peaks of the Catalan Pyrenees.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the geometric patterns of the famous French chΓ’teaux and vineyards.
Paris Silhouette
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the sprawling Paris metropolitan area are often visible on the horizon.
White Cliffs
The iconic chalk coastline near Dover and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.
London Skyline
Panoramic views of the City of London and Canary Wharf skyscrapers as the aircraft turns for final approach.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to enjoy the soft lighting over the Pyrenees and the Thames. On the final approach into Stansted, look out for the London skyline (The Shard and O2 Arena) which is frequently visible to the west as the plane maneuvers.
Montserrat
The distinctive jagged peaks of the Montserrat massif are visible shortly after takeoff from Reus.
Western Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the high peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses from Spain into France.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic landscapes and green plateaus of south-central France provide a textured terrain.
Normandy Coast
Distant views of the historic northern French coastline and the port of Le Havre.
Essex Countryside
The patchwork of lush green fields and rural English villages during the descent into Stansted.
Ideal for afternoon or evening departures to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. This side provides an excellent perspective of the rugged interior of Catalonia and the volcanic regions of central France during the cruise phase.
