ALCAAL

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Pyrenees mountain range and stunning coastal vistas along the North Sea and the Danish shoreline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Costa Blanca

Panoramic views of the Alicante coastline and the Mediterranean Sea shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks forming the border between Spain and France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Sightings of the winding Loire River and the verdant countryside of central France.

🌊

The Wadden Sea

The intricate patterns of tidal flats and islands along the Dutch and German coasts.

🇩🇰

Jutland West Coast

The long, sandy beaches and dunes of western Denmark as the aircraft aligns for the approach into Aalborg.

Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic and North Sea. The Pyrenees appear approximately 40-50 minutes into the flight; keep your camera ready for the high-altitude contrast between the mountains and the French plains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
📐

Ebro Delta

The distinctive triangular shape of the Ebro River wetland system visible early in the flight.

🌋

Massif Central

Ancient volcanic landscapes and high plateaus in south-central France.

🏙️

European Metropolitan Centers

Bird's-eye views of dense urban areas like Brussels and the massive Port of Rotterdam.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of wind turbines in the North Sea appearing as white dots on the water.

🌾

Jutland Peninsula

The patchwork quilt of Danish farmland and forests as you cross into Scandinavia.

The right side is optimal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the sun. Look for the Ebro Delta about 20 minutes after departure. On exceptionally clear days, you may catch a glimpse of the distant Alps to the far east while crossing over France.
