Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the volcanic Auvergne region early in the flight and the dense industrial and urban landscapes of the Rhine-Ruhr valley before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Chaîne des Puys

Marvel at the alignment of over 80 dormant volcanoes in the Massif Central, a UNESCO World Heritage site visible shortly after departure.

🍾

Champagne Vineyards

Fly over the rolling green hills and prestigious vineyards surrounding the city of Reims in the historic Champagne region.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

View the deep valleys and dense deciduous forests of the Ardennes mountain range stretching across the Belgian-German border.

🏭

Rhine-Ruhr Industrial Heart

A dense network of cities including Cologne and Dortmund, centered around the winding Rhine River and its massive industrial infrastructure.

🏞️

Teutoburg Forest

The long, narrow forested ridge appearing just before the descent into Bremen, marking the start of the North German Plain.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Auvergne volcanoes. Watch for the twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral as you pass the Rhine; they are small but distinguishable on a clear day. During winter, the Ardennes often provide a beautiful snow-dusted landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Loire Valley Châteaux

Spot the historic estates and sprawling gardens dotting the banks of the Loire River as you head north through central France.

🏙️

Paris Suburban Sprawl

On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the vast urban expanse of the French capital are visible to the west.

🌾

Flanders Plains

Observe the intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and narrow canals typical of the border region between France and Belgium.

🚤

Port of Antwerp

Catch a glimpse of one of Europe's largest ports and the Scheldt estuary as the plane begins its transition toward German airspace.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 25 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Loire river crossings. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the horizon when looking toward Paris.
