VLC → BVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal Mediterranean views, the dramatic Ebro Delta, the volcanic peaks of central France, and the best chance to spot the Paris skyline during the descent.
Costa Azahar
Beautiful views of the Spanish coastline and the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
Ebro Delta
The striking geographic formation of the Ebro river entering the sea, resembling a bird's foot.
Chaîne des Puys
The iconic chain of dormant volcanic domes in the Auvergne region of France.
Paris Skyline
Potential views of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Cœur on the horizon during the descent into BVA.
Beauvais Cathedral
The towering Gothic structure of Saint Pierre as the plane makes its final approach.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see Paris. As Beauvais is north of the capital, the flight path often passes to the east of the city, placing the Eiffel Tower in view on this side. During winter, the Ebro Delta is particularly vibrant with migrating birds visible even from high altitudes.
Maestrazgo Range
The rugged, limestone highlands of eastern Spain shortly after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
High-altitude peaks and deep glacial valleys as you cross the border into France.
Loire Valley Châteaux
Glimpses of historic French castles and the winding Loire River in central France.
Vexin Français
The lush green landscapes of the regional natural park just south of Beauvais.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a more intimate view of the high Pyrenean peaks and the rural French countryside. Look out for the Garonne river winding through the landscape during mid-flight.
