Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it hugs the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, offering views of the Sierra Nevada's high peaks, the Balearic Islands in the distance, and the spectacular coastal approach into Marseille.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Breathtaking views of Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, often covered in snow.
Costa Blanca & Costa Brava
A continuous view of the white-sand beaches, resort towns, and turquoise bays along the Spanish coast.
The Balearic Islands
The silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca are often visible across the blue expanse of the Balearic Sea.
Camargue Nature Reserve
The vast delta of the Rhône River, famous for its salt pans, wild white horses, and pink flamingos.
Gulf of Lion
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean leading into the limestone cliffs (Calanques) of Marseille.
Château d'If
The famous fortress island featured in 'The Count of Monte Cristo' visible during the final descent into MRS.
This is the 'money side' for this route. For the best lighting on the Sierra Nevada and the French coast, choose a flight departing in the late afternoon. During the descent into Marseille, the aircraft often performs a U-turn over the sea, providing a panoramic view of the Old Port.
Sevilla Cityscape
Aerial view of the Cathedral, Giralda, and the winding Guadalquivir River immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Morena
Rugged, dark mountain ranges forming the natural border between Andalusia and the central Spanish plateau.
The Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden agricultural plains of the high interior, featuring geometric field patterns.
The Pyrenees
On very clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French-Spanish border are visible on the northern horizon.
Languedoc-Roussillon
The historical French region featuring medieval towns and the city of Montpellier as you cross into France.
Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat haze. This side is best for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean without direct glare. Keep an eye out for the Ebro River's distinctive delta as you move toward the French border.
