VLCEIN

Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the highest Pyrenean peaks and typically provides a better vantage point for viewing the sprawl of Paris and the architectural patterns of the Loire Valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Valencia Cityscape

Immediate views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the Turia Gardens right after takeoff.

🏔️

High Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Maladeta Massif and Aneto, the highest point in the range.

🏰

Loire Valley Châteaux

Spot the winding Loire River and historical French estates as you cross central France.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

Distant but clear views of the Eiffel Tower and the dense urban core of Paris on clear days.

🇧🇪

Brussels & Antwerp

Visuals of the dense Belgian urban corridor and the Atomium before crossing the Dutch border.

For the best photography, opt for a seat in the front or rear to avoid wing obstruction. Morning flights (08:00-11:00) provide soft, side-lit conditions for the Pyrenees, making the terrain depth pop. In winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-covered peaks against the French plains.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Costa del Azahar

Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Ebro Delta as the plane climbs North.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

Visuals of the rugged Catalan peaks and the transition from the mountains to the French coast.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Distant views of the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of extinct cinder cones in the Massif Central.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

Rolling green hills and deep river valleys of Southern Belgium during the initial descent.

🇳🇱

North Brabant Plains

A geometric patchwork of Dutch agriculture and forests as you approach Eindhoven.

The right side is ideal for catching the Mediterranean sunrise on early morning departures. During the descent into Eindhoven, this side often gets a better view of the Philips Stadion and the Strijp-S district if the wind requires a northern landing approach.
