Which side of the plane to sit from Strasbourg Airport (Strasbourg) to Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport (Biarritz-bayonne)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is favored for its sweeping views of the French interior, including the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central and the towering peaks of the Pyrenees during the final approach into Biarritz.

Vosges Mountains
Immediately after takeoff from Strasbourg, enjoy views of the dense forests and rounded summits of the Vosges range.
Auvergne Volcanoes
Mid-flight provides a spectacular view of the Chaîne des Puys, featuring dormant volcanoes like the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Dordogne Valley
Glimpses of winding rivers and medieval hilltop castles as the flight traverses the Perigord region.
The Pyrenees
During the descent, the massive snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees form a stunning wall along the southern horizon.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Auvergne peaks. In winter, the snow-covered Massif Central and Pyrenees offer the most dramatic contrast. If the flight path stays inland, this side captures the most diverse topographic relief.

Bordeaux Vineyards
View the structured patterns of the world-famous vineyards as you pass north of the Gironde region.
Landes Forest
The massive, geometric pine plantations of the Landes de Gascogne create a unique green carpet stretching to the coast.
Côte d'Argent
As the plane nears Biarritz, witness the long, straight sandy beaches of the Silver Coast meeting the Atlantic waves.
Bay of Biscay
On the final approach, the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean dominates the window view as you turn toward the airport.
Sit on the right if you prefer ocean views during the descent. Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic. If the plane performs a 'Runway 27' landing, you will see the famous Biarritz lighthouse and surfing beaches just before touchdown.
