Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Weeze Airport (Weeze)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the high Pyrenees peaks, the unique volcanic landscapes of the French Massif Central, and a better angle of Valencia's coastline upon departure.
Valencia Cityscape
Aerial view of the City of Arts and Sciences and the Albufera Lake immediately after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
A direct view of the highest peaks of the range, including Aneto, which remains snow-capped most of the year.
Massif Central
The dramatic Chaรฎne des Puys, a chain of extinct dormant volcanoes near Clermont-Ferrand in central France.
Loire Valley
Clear views of the meandering Loire river and its historic surrounding chateaux as you cross central France.
Lower Rhine Approach
Green vistas of the Maasduinen National Park on the Dutch-German border during the final descent into Weeze.
Sit on the left for the best Valencia departure views. During mid-day flights, the sun is usually behind the plane on this side, providing excellent glare-free conditions for photography of the Pyrenees and French volcanoes. Keep an eye out about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the high mountain pass.
Costa Dorada
Beautiful views of the Spanish coastline and the city of Barcelona shimmering in the distance.
Eastern Pyrenees
Views of the rugged mountains near the Mediterranean border and the high plateaus of Andorra.
Distant Alps
On exceptionally clear days, the white peaks of the French Alps may be visible on the far eastern horizon.
Rhine River
The winding Rhine River and the industrial landscape of the Ruhr area come into view during the descent.
Ardennes Forest
Dense green forest landscapes and rolling hills as the plane crosses from France into the Benelux region.
The right side is ideal for seeing the Mediterranean coast during the initial climb. However, be aware that morning flights will experience significant sun glare on this side. In the final 20 minutes of the flight, look for the sprawling urban areas of the Rhine-Ruhr region to the east.
