Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft is superior on this route as it offers breathtaking views of the Southern Alps, the French Riviera, and the unique Montserrat mountain range upon the descent into Barcelona.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Alps

Spectacular views of the snow-capped Southern Alps and the Dolomites to the north.

🚤

French Riviera

The glamorous coastline including Nice, Cannes, and the rugged Massif de l'Esterel.

🏙️

Marseille & Gulf of Lion

Views of France's oldest city and the sweeping curve of the Mediterranean coast.

⛰️

Montserrat

The iconic multi-peaked serrated mountain range located just northwest of Barcelona.

The right side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. The highlight is the Alpine panorama, which appears about 50 minutes into the flight. On the final approach into BCN, look out for the jagged peaks of Montserrat and the Tibidabo hill overlooking the city. Sit behind the wing for the clearest views of the coastline.

🌊

Dalmatian Coast

Deep blue waters and the intricate network of islands along the Croatian coastline.

🏛️

Italian Apennines

The rugged spine of Italy stretching southwards as you cross the northern peninsula.

🚢

Barcelona Port

A bird's-eye view of the massive cruise terminals and cargo docks during the final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Adriatic without direct glare. It provides a better view of the Mediterranean horizon and the Balearic Sea expanse. Watch for the Croatian islands roughly 30-40 minutes after takeoff.
