Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular continuous panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, including the French Riviera and the Costa Brava, before providing a superior view of Barcelona's skyline during the approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Turin Cityscape

A clear view of the city's unique grid layout and the iconic Mole Antonelliana spire right after departure.

🌊

French Riviera

Stunning views of the azure waters and luxury coastal towns like Cannes and Nice as the plane tracks south.

⚓

Marseille & Port

A great perspective of France's second-largest city and its bustling Mediterranean harbor.

🏝️

Costa Brava

The wild and rocky 'Brave Coast' of Catalonia with its hidden coves and turquoise water.

🏗️

Barcelona Urban View

If approaching from the north, you'll see the Eixample district, Sagrada Familia, and the beachfront.

This is the premier side for coastal photography. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly. If the flight lands on Runway 25R (the most common landing strip), the right side provides a direct view of the Barcelona harbor and the W Hotel.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Cottian Alps

Immediate views of the high peaks along the Italian-French border shortly after takeoff.

🍷

Languedoc Plains

The geometric patterns of the vast vineyards and agricultural lands of Southern France.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

As the flight nears Spain, the rugged snow-capped peaks of the eastern Pyrenees are visible in the distance.

⛪

Montserrat

The unique, jagged saw-toothed mountain range located just north of Barcelona during the descent.

Sit behind the wing to ensure the mountain peaks aren't obscured. This side is better during midday flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare on the window. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of Montserrat about 15 minutes before landing.
