Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Billund Airport (Billund)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged western Corsican coastline, the highest peaks of the French and Swiss Alps (including potential views of Mont Blanc), and the scenic transition into the Rhine Valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐ŸŒŠ

Corsican Cliffs

The dramatic, red-rock cliffs of the Scandola Nature Reserve on the western edge of Corsica.

๐Ÿšข

Genoa & Liguria

A sweeping view of the Italian Riviera and the busy industrial port of Genoa as you cross into mainland Europe.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The High Alps

Incredible views of the highest European peaks, often passing near the Mont Blanc massif and the Matterhorn.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Lac Lรฉman and the surrounding Swiss vineyards and cities like Lausanne.

๐Ÿฐ

Middle Rhine Valley

The castle-dotted stretch of the Rhine River, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its steep vineyards.

๐ŸŒพ

Danish Wadden Sea

The unique tidal flats and marshlands of the Jutland west coast during the final descent into Billund.

Sit on the left for the most iconic mountain views. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Alps, though early morning flights might catch the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the Corsican coast and roughly 50 minutes in for the Alpine peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Tuscan Archipelago

Views of Elba and other small Mediterranean islands shimmering in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Milan & Po Valley

The sprawling urban landscape of Milan and the flat, fertile agricultural heartland of Northern Italy.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Bernese Oberland

Stunning vistas of the Eiger, Mรถnch, and Jungfrau peaks in the central Swiss Alps.

๐Ÿบ

Bavarian Plains

Rolling green hills and the transition from the mountains into the forests of southern Germany.

๐ŸŒ‰

Little Belt

The bridges connecting the island of Funen with the Jutland peninsula as you approach Denmark.

The right side is ideal if you prefer seeing the expansive Italian plains and the broader range of the central Alps. Morning flights are better on this side to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun. On the approach to Billund, look for the Lego House's distinctive architecture if the flight path circles the town.
