Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Strasbourg Airport (Strasbourg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular panoramic views of the French Alps in the distance, including the towering Mont Blanc, as well as the folded peaks of the Jura Mountains and the German Black Forest during the final approach.
The High Alps
On clear days, enjoy a magnificent horizon featuring the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, dominated by Mont Blanc.
Rhône Valley
View the wide, winding Rhône River and the urban sprawl of Lyon where it meets the Saône.
Jura Mountains
Detailed views of the unique limestone ridges and plateaus that define the border between France and Switzerland.
Black Forest
Across the Rhine River, the dark, rolling hills of Germany's Schwarzwald provide a scenic backdrop during the final approach into Strasbourg.
Strasbourg Cathedral
Look for the distinctive single spire of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg rising above the city's timber-framed houses.
Book a morning flight on the right side to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the Alpine peaks to the east. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes into the flight for the best chance to spot Mont Blanc. During the landing phase, the right side typically offers the best view of the Rhine River separating France and Germany.
Toulouse Skyline
Excellent views of the Garonne River and the distinct red-brick architecture of the Pink City immediately after takeoff.
Massif Central
Fly over the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Auvergne, including the iconic conical peak of Puy de Dôme.
Burgundy Vineyards
Peer down at the prestigious vineyard stripes of the Côte d'Or region near Beaune and Dijon during the mid-flight cruise.
Vosges Mountains
Dense green forests and rounded 'ballons' of the Vosges range as the aircraft begins its descent into the Alsace region.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the dormant volcanoes of central France. It is also the better side for observing the historic architecture of central French towns like Dijon during the descent.
