Which side of the plane to sit from Zaragoza Air Base (Zaragoza) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees shortly after takeoff and better visibility of the French Massif Central and the Champagne region.
Pyrenees High Peaks
Spectacular views of Monte Perdido and Aneto, the highest points of the range, shortly after crossing the border.
Massif Central
The dormant volcanic craters and lush plateaus of the Chaine des Puys in central France.
Champagne Vineyards
The perfectly manicured rows of vineyards surrounding Reims and Epernay in the heart of Champagne.
Meuse Valley
The forested hills and deep river bends of the Ardennes foothills as you approach the Belgian border.
Charleroi Industrial Heritage
The iconic 'terrils' (slag heaps) and heavy industrial architecture that defines the Charleroi basin.
This is the 'scenic' side for mountain lovers. Ensure you are looking out within the first 15-20 minutes for the best Pyrenees views. In the winter, the snow-capped volcanoes of the Massif Central are particularly striking. Be aware that morning flights may face direct sunlight on this side.
Aragon Steppes
The unique, arid landscapes and semi-desert terrain of the Ebro Valley immediately after departure.
Western Pyrenees
Glimpses of the rugged peaks and green valleys of the Atlantic Pyrenees and the Bearn region.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic estates of the French 'Garden of Kings'.
Paris Distant Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the La Defense business district to the east.
Mons and Borinage
The historical mining landscapes and urban centers of the Belgian Walloon region before landing.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. This side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you or to the side, reducing cabin glare. Watch for the distinct 'S' curve of the Loire river roughly 45 minutes into the flight.
