Right-side seats win overall due to superior takeoff views of the Pyrenees, which dominate the first third of the flight. While landing favors the left, the Pyrenees climb-out is more visually dramatic and sustained than the Valencia descent views.
Flight Path
After clearing the Pyrenees (around 20 minutes), you'll cross into Spanish airspace over Catalonia's interior plains. The flight path typically follows a southeast corridor over the Ebro River valley and inland Aragon/Valencia regions. The Iberian Plateau's gentle terrain dominates the midpoint, with occasional river valleys visible. No major mountain ranges interrupt the route between the Pyrenees and the coastal approach to Valencia.

The mountain range rises dramatically to the south and southeast, forming a clear visual boundary between France and Spain. This is the dominant feature during the initial 10-15 minutes of climb. Notable sights include: Pyrenees Mountains (south/southeast), Garonne River valley (visible as it flows northwest from Toulouse), Toulouse urban sprawl (directly below during climb-out), foothills of the Massif Central (north, receding).
What can I see when landing at Valencia in Valencia?

You'll see the Turia River valley cutting through the city, the Mediterranean coastline, and the flat coastal plains. The approach typically descends from the northwest, making the left side ideal for viewing the city layout and sea approach. Notable sights include: Mediterranean Sea (eastern horizon), Turia River (green corridor through Valencia city center), Valencia's urban districts and port facilities (Turia Gardens visible as linear park), coastal lagoons and beaches (Malvarrosa Beach area).
