Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

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.
