Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the high Pyrenees peaks and an iconic view of the Barcelona city center and coastline upon the final approach into El Prat.
Toulouse Pink City
Aerial view of the Garonne River and the historic terracotta brick buildings of Toulouse center shortly after departure.
Central Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the high mountains, often showcasing snow-capped peaks like Pica d'Estats on the border.
Montserrat Massif
The unique, jagged limestone columns of Montserrat mountain are clearly visible to the left during the initial descent.
Barcelona Urban Grid
Unmatched views of the Eixample district's square blocks, the Sagrada Família, and the Olympic Port during landing.
Book a window seat on the left for the most direct view of Barcelona's landmarks. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Pyrenees from the east, highlighting the mountain relief.
Airbus Headquarters
Immediate views of the massive Airbus assembly lines and flight test areas at Blagnac during the takeoff roll.
Canal du Midi
Spot the winding, tree-lined UNESCO World Heritage canal snaking through the Occitanie countryside.
Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park
Dramatic views of the limestone cliffs and steep valleys of the Pre-Pyrenees range in northern Catalonia.
Llobregat Delta
Final views of the Mediterranean coastline and the protected wetlands surrounding the airport during the short final approach.
The right side is excellent for aviation fans to see the Airbus factory at TLS. During winter, the low sun in the late afternoon provides a golden glow over the Spanish foothills.
