The left side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, featuring the industrial scale of the Port of Rotterdam, the unique volcanic peaks of central France, and a dramatic approach over the high eastern Pyrenees peaks like Pic du Canigou.

Left Side Highlights

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

An expansive view of Europe's largest seaport and the complex industrial waterways of the Maas delta shortly after departure.

🗼

Paris Cityscape

On clear days, the dense urban layout of Paris and its outskirts are visible as the flight path passes to the east of the city.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding 'Garden of France' featuring historic chateaux and lush green floodplains in central France.

🌋

Chaîne des Puys

A stunning line of extinct volcanic craters and cinder cones in the Massif Central region, including the iconic Puy de Dôme.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Dramatic snow-capped peaks and deep valleys as the aircraft crosses the border from France into Catalonia.

Sit forward of the wing to capture unobstructed photos of the volcanic Chaîne des Puys. For morning flights, this side receives excellent direct light on the mountain ridges of the Pyrenees, making the topography pop.

Right Side Highlights

🇧🇪

Antwerp & Brussels

🍾

Champagne Vineyards

Orderly rows of world-famous vineyards stretching across the rolling hills of northern France.

The 'Wild Coast' of Spain comes into view during the descent, showing the contrast between blue Mediterranean waters and rocky cliffs.

Gulf of Roses

A wide, sweeping bay on the Mediterranean coast visible as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Girona.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a beautiful perspective of the Mediterranean coastline and the Empordà plains.
