SVQ β†’ CRL

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the historic center of Seville, moving to the rugged mountains of Central Spain, and concluding with views of the French Atlantic coastline and the Loire Valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ›οΈ

Sevilla Cityscape

Aerial view of the Cathedral, the Giralda tower, and the winding Guadalquivir river immediately after takeoff from SVQ.

πŸ”οΈ

Sierra de Guadarrama

Dramatic granite mountain peaks north of Madrid, providing a sharp contrast to the Spanish plains.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

As the flight crosses into France, witness the rugged coastline where the Atlantic Ocean meets the French mainland.

🏰

Loire Valley ChΓ’teaux

Lush green landscapes of central France dotted with historic Renaissance castles and sprawling vineyards.

πŸ—Ό

Greater Paris Area

On clear days, the distant skyline of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the north-east before the final descent.

For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. A seat ahead of the wing is essential to capture the sprawling views of the Loire Valley without engine glare. Watch the horizon about 70-80 minutes into the flight for the first glimpse of the French coast.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌻

Andalusian Plains

Vast stretches of olive groves and golden fields typical of the southern Spanish interior.

πŸ™οΈ

Madrid Metropolitan Area

A comprehensive view of Spain's capital, including the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the dense urban sprawl.

πŸ”οΈ

Pyrenees Mountains

Jagged, often snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France during the mid-flight transit.

πŸŒ‹

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic plateaus of central France visible in the distance to the east.

🏭

Walloon Industrial Heritage

As you approach Charleroi, look for the 'Pays Noir' industrial landscape and historic mining structures.

The right side is excellent for seeing the Pyrenees interior. During winter months, the snow-covered peaks are a major highlight. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight if flying north in the afternoon to avoid the harsh western sun reflecting off the wing.
