Which side of the plane to sit from Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (Ronchi De Legionari) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous and breathtaking panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, encompassing the Italian Riviera, the French Côte d'Azur, and the stunning approach along the Spanish coast past Barcelona.
Gulf of Trieste
Immediate views of the turquoise Adriatic waters and the Miramare Castle right after takeoff from TRS.
Ligurian Coast
Dramatic views of the Italian Riviera, including the rugged cliffs of Cinque Terre and the expansive port of Genoa.
French Riviera
Unrivaled views of the glitzy coastal cities including Nice, Cannes, and the luxury yachts of Antibes.
Marseille & Calanques
The white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park and the historic Old Port of Marseille are clearly visible.
Barcelona Skyline
A prime view of the Sagrada Familia, the Eixample district's grid pattern, and the busy Barcelona beachfront.
Sit on the left for the best coastal photography. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the European coastline as the sun is in the east. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Mediterranean ports and the city of Barcelona during the descent.
Dolomites & Southern Alps
To the north, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Italian Alps provide a dramatic backdrop during the first half of the flight.
Po Valley
The fertile plains of Northern Italy, showcasing the intricate patterns of agricultural fields and the winding Po River.
Mont Ventoux
The 'Giant of Provence' stands out as a bald, white limestone peak amidst the rolling hills of Southern France.
Pyrenees Range
On clear days, the high peaks of the Pyrenees marking the French-Spanish border are visible in the distance to the west.
Montserrat & Inland Catalonia
The unique, serrated rock formations of the Montserrat massif can be spotted as you cross into Spanish airspace.
The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. In winter, the snow-covered Alps are spectacular. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which can cause significant glare; keep your window shade ready or wear sunglasses for comfort.
