VNO → BCN
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers views of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and provides a world-class aerial view of Barcelona's iconic urban grid and the Sagrada Familia during the standard approach.
Prague
The historic bridges and spires of the Czech capital are often visible early in the journey.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps stands out prominently to the south as you cross the range.
Rhone Valley
The lush green vineyards and the winding Rhone river through southeastern France.
Montserrat
The distinct, serrated mountain range that is a sacred symbol of Catalonia.
Barcelona City Grid
The perfect octagonal blocks of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Familia on final approach.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'City View' landing at BCN. Most flights land on runway 24R, which puts the city center directly out of the right-hand windows. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing to capture the Sagrada Familia and the Mediterranean coastline.
Tatra Mountains
The jagged peaks forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
Austrian Alps
Glaciers and deep valleys of the Eastern Alpine range during the middle of the flight.
Gulf of Lion
The transition from the French landmass to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Costa Brava
The rugged, rocky coastline of northern Spain with its hidden turquoise coves.
Port of Barcelona
A view of the massive logistics hub and cruise terminals during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over Eastern Europe without direct glare. This side is excellent for viewing the coastline if the aircraft approaches Barcelona from the north. Watch for the snow-capped Alps roughly 90 minutes after takeoff.
