Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of Mediterranean coastal scenery, the unique geography of the Ebro Delta, and clear views of the eastern Pyrenees and French wine country.
Costa Azahar
Crystal clear views of the Mediterranean coastline and the popular holiday resorts as you climb out of Valencia.
Ebro Delta
The distinctive arrowhead shape of the Ebro Delta and its vast rice paddies are visible from high altitude.
Barcelona & Montserrat
Depending on the exact path, the Catalan capital and the serrated peaks of Montserrat can be seen to the east.
Burgundy Vineyards
Crossing central France reveals the rolling hills and orderly vineyards of one of the world's most famous wine regions.
Ardennes Foothills
The final descent offers views of the dense forests and rolling hills of the French-Belgian border region.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the Ebro Delta. During the descent into Charleroi, look for the industrial heritage sites and slag heaps (terrils) that define the Walloon landscape.
Aragon Landscapes
The rugged, arid terrain of inland Spain provides a dramatic start with deep canyons and orange-hued mountains.
Central Pyrenees
Direct views of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, including snow-capped summits and deep glacial valleys.
Loire Valley
As the flight progresses through France, look for the winding Loire river and historic chateaux scattered through the landscape.
Picardy Plains
The vast agricultural patchwork of northern France creates a geometric tapestry of greens and golds.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the highest mountain peaks and the vast interiors of France. If flying in the evening, this side will catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. Watch for the rugged peaks of Ordesa National Park roughly 30 minutes into the flight.
