Which side of the plane to sit from Burgos Airport (Burgos) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panorama of the Pyrenees mountain range to the north and the iconic jagged peaks of Montserrat during the descent into Barcelona.
The Pyrenees
Expansive views of the snow-capped high peaks marking the border between Spain and France to the north.
Ebro River Valley
The winding path of Spain's most voluminous river carving through the northern plains.
Montserrat Massif
The world-famous multi-peaked mountain range and monastery visible shortly before landing.
Barcelona Skyline
A clear view of the city's grid layout, the Sagrada Familia, and Tibidabo hill on northern approach tracks.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit views of the Pyrenees. Watch for the dramatic limestone formations of Montserrat about 15 minutes before touchdown.
Monegros Desert
The unique, arid, and moon-like landscape of the Aragon region's steppe.
Moncayo Massif
The highest point of the Sistema Ibรฉrico system visible to the south of the flight path.
Mediterranean Coastline
The shimmering blue waters of the Balearic Sea appearing as the plane turns for its final approach.
Port of Barcelona
Views of massive cruise ships and cargo terminals if the aircraft arrives from the south over the sea.
The right side is excellent for sunset flights as the light reflects off the Mediterranean. If the airport is using 'Configuration West' for landing, you will get a great view of the coast and the Llobregat Delta. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the brown plains of Aragon to the green Catalan hills.
