Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Billund Airport (Billund)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views, including a direct traverse over the Pyrenees and a spectacular perspective of the Dutch and German Frisian Islands along the North Sea coast.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Aerial views of Alicante's white beaches and the iconic Santa Bรกrbara Castle immediately after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France, offering rugged mountain terrain.
Loire Valley
The winding 'Garden of France' with its historic river system and patchwork agricultural fields.
Frisian Islands
The distinctive chain of islands along the Dutch and German coast, showcasing unique sandbar patterns.
Wadden Sea
A UNESCO World Heritage site visible during the descent, known for its vast intertidal mudflats and biodiversity.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For morning flights, the left side remains shaded, providing better lighting for photography. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes after departure for the Pyrenees crossing.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive views of the Balearic Sea and the Spanish coastline receding as the plane heads north.
French Alps Panorama
On clear days, the distant but majestic skyline of the French and Swiss Alps is visible to the east while over France.
Paris Peripheral
Depending on the specific air corridor, the sprawling urban landscape of the French capital may be seen in the distance.
Rhine River Valley
Views of Europe's most important waterway and the industrial heartland of Western Germany.
Legoland Billund
A colorful aerial view of the original Legoland park and the Lego House shortly before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. As you enter Danish airspace, look closely for the bright, primary-colored buildings of Legoland; it is one of the most unique arrival sights in Europe.
