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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Ordesa glacial valleys in the Pyrenees and typically provides a better angle of Sevilla's historic center during the landing approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏞️

Ordesa Valley

Spectacular views of deep glacial canyons and limestone cliffs in the Pyrenees National Park.

🏔️

Monte Perdido

A stunning UNESCO World Heritage limestone massif visible shortly after takeoff from Toulouse.

🌾

The Meseta

The vast, high-altitude golden plateau of central Spain stretching toward the horizon.

🏰

Castilian Fortresses

Occasional sightings of medieval hilltop towns and castles scattered across the plains.

⛪

Sevilla City Center

On a typical approach to Runway 27, you get a clear view of the Giralda tower and the Cathedral.

The right side is the 'scenic side' for the Pyrenees crossing, offering direct views into the Ordesa canyons. On final descent into Sevilla, the right side usually provides the best view of the city's historic core and the Alamillo Bridge. Choose this side for afternoon flights to have the sun behind you.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Aneto Peak

The highest point in the Pyrenees, visible shortly after crossing the French-Spanish border.

🌊

Ebro River

Watch the longest river in Spain wind through the arid landscape of the Aragon region.

🏘️

Zaragoza

The urban sprawl of the Aragonese capital, often visible in the mid-distance.

🫒

Andalusian Olive Groves

Endless patterns of silver-green trees stretching across the rolling hills of Jaen and Cordoba.

⛰️

Sierra Morena

The rugged mountain range that acts as the gateway to the southern plains of Andalusia.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the high peaks. Look for the reflection of the sun on the Ebro River midway through the journey. This side is also excellent for seeing the sheer scale of Spain's agricultural heartland.
