SVQNTE

Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior departure view of Sevilla's historic landmarks and a better perspective of the French coastline and the scenic Loire River valley during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Sevilla City Center

Unparalleled views of the Giralda, the Cathedral, and the winding Guadalquivir River immediately after takeoff from SVQ.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

The jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains are often visible in the distance when crossing Northern Spain.

🏖️

Île de Ré

The iconic white houses and salt pans of this popular island near La Rochelle are clearly visible from high altitude.

🍇

Loire Valley Vineyards

Lush green landscapes and the meandering path of the Loire river as the aircraft aligns for the runway at Nantes.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for Sevilla's urban sprawl. On approach to NTE, you have a higher chance of seeing the historic heart of Nantes and the 'Machines de l'île' depending on the wind direction.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Sierra de Gata

Rugged granite peaks and deep valleys marking the transition between Extremadura and the northern Spanish plateau.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the aircraft leaves the Spanish coast and heads toward French airspace.

🏝️

Île d'Yeu

A beautiful rocky island off the coast of Vendée featuring a mix of wild cliffs and sandy beaches.

🏗️

Saint-Nazaire Bridge

A massive cable-stayed bridge spanning the Loire estuary visible during the descent into Nantes.

Sit on the left for a clear view of the Atlantic horizon. During sunset flights, this side will experience direct sunlight, which is great for photography but may require window shades for comfort. Look for the distinctive salt marshes of Noirmoutier just before landing.
