TLS โ BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the extinct volcanoes of the Massif Central and the expansive vineyards of the Champagne region before the final approach into Brussels.
Southern Horizon
A stunning panoramic view of the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains visible to the south during the initial climb.
Volcanic Peaks
The dramatic and rugged terrain of the Massif Central, featuring ancient volcanic formations.
Iconic Dome
A clear view of the Puy de Dรดme, the most famous dormant volcano in the Chaรฎne des Puys range.
Champagne Grids
The world-renowned vineyards of the Champagne region near Reims, appearing as precise green grids.
European Capital
Excellent views of the Brussels skyline and the iconic Atomium structure during the final descent into BRU.
Look south immediately after takeoff to catch the Pyrenees before the plane turns north. Morning flights offer the best side-lighting for the volcanoes of central France. During landing, the right side is most likely to see the Brussels city center if the wind favors runways 25R or 25L.
The Pink City
Aerial view of Toulouse's unique red-brick architecture and the winding Garonne river shortly after takeoff.
Green Heart
The lush, rolling hills and dense forests of the Limousin region provide a serene rural landscape.
Chateau Country
Passing over the western edge of the historic Loire Valley, known for its royal estates and river paths.
Northern Plains
The geometric patterns of the Picardy agricultural heartland stretch toward the horizon.
Belgian Border
The transition from the French countryside into the dense, industrial urban fabric of the Walloon region.
Opt for a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French countryside perfectly for photography.
