ALC โ†’ EXT

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is preferred for its dramatic departure views of the Costa Blanca and the spectacular final approach over the Jurassic Coast and Exmouth.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Costa Blanca Coastline

Breathtaking views of Alicante's urban beaches and the blue Mediterranean immediately following takeoff.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Spanish Meseta

The expansive, high-altitude plateau of central Spain, featuring unique agricultural patterns and arid landscapes.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Brittany Peninsula

The rugged western coastline of France, including the jagged cliffs of the Finistรจre department.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Jurassic Coast

Stunning views of the red sandstone cliffs and the Exe Estuary during the descent into Exeter.

Sit on the left (seats A or B) for the best views of the English coastline upon arrival. As this is a northbound flight, the left side will be shaded from the direct sun during the afternoon, reducing glare for photography. Look out for the white cliffs of the Devon/Dorset border during the descent phase.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Sierra de Aitana

The highest peak in the province of Alicante, visible shortly after departure from ALC.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Madrid Outskirts

Distant views of the Spanish capital's skyscrapers and urban sprawl depending on the specific air corridor.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Channel Islands

On clear days, the islands of Jersey and Guernsey can be seen as emerald gems in the English Channel.

๐ŸŒฒ

Dartmoor National Park

The wild, rolling hills and granite tors of Devon visible just before the final touchdown at EXT.

The right side (seats E or F) is excellent for spotting the Channel Islands mid-flight. Be aware that on morning flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of Haytor or other granite tors as you cross into the Devon interior on the final approach leg.
