Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous panorama of the Spanish and French coastlines, featuring the Ebro Delta, the city of Barcelona, and the distant Pyrenees mountains.
Ebro Delta
The distinctive bird-foot shaped wetland where the Ebro river meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Barcelona Skyline
Panoramic views of the iconic urban grid and the Sagrada Família as you pass the Catalan capital.
The Pyrenees
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing Spain and France are visible inland.
Costa Brava
The rugged and rocky 'Wild Coast' of northern Catalonia stretching toward the French border.
Camargue Lagoons
The vast wetlands and salt flats near Arles, famous for wild horses and flamingos.
Sit in an 'A' seat for the most consistent land views. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare, making it easier to see the Pyrenees in the distance. The Ebro Delta is typically visible about 20-25 minutes after departure from Valencia.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue vistas of the Mediterranean and occasionally the distant silhouette of the Balearic Islands.
Frioul Archipelago
Striking white limestone islands that mark the entrance to the Bay of Marseille.
Château d'If
The famous island fortress and former prison made legendary by the Count of Monte Cristo.
Marseille Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Calanques cliffs and the Pharo Palace during the final approach phase.
Book an 'F' or 'K' seat. While the cruise phase is primarily open water, the right side provides a superior view of the Marseille harbor and the city's coastal islands during the final descent into MRS, especially if landing on Runway 31.
