Which side of the plane to sit from Santiago de Compostela Airport (Santiago) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic sequence of the rugged Cantabrian Mountains, the volcanic craters of the Massif Central, and a distant view of the snow-capped Swiss Alps during the approach.
Picos de Europa
The spectacular limestone towers of Spain's first national park rise sharply to the south of the flight path.
Massif Central
Fly over the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of extinct volcanic craters including the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of world-famous wine estates in the Côte d'Or region visible near Dijon.
Bernese Alps
On clear days, the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks are visible on the distant horizon to the southeast.
Jura Mountains
The long, folded ridges of the Jura range provide a dramatic landscape just before landing at EuroAirport.
The right side is the 'Mountain Side.' In winter, the snow-covered Pyrenees and Alps provide incredible contrast. Mid-day flights are best for viewing the volcanic craters of central France without heavy shadows.
Galician Rias
Dramatic views of the jagged Atlantic coastline and deep estuaries shortly after takeoff from SCQ.
Dune du Pilat
The tallest sand dune in Europe is clearly visible as the flight crosses the French coastline near Arcachon.
La Rochelle & Islands
Aerial view of the historic port city and the white limestone cliffs of Île de Ré.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded, forested peaks of the Vosges range appear as the plane begins its descent into the Rhine Valley.
Sit in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the French coastline. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the Bay of Biscay and the sand dunes.
