ALC โ HAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Haugesund Airport (Haugesund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic approach into the Norwegian fjords and captures the bustling coastal regions of the Benelux and France.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Stunning views of the white sand beaches and Mediterranean turquoise waters north of Alicante.
Massif Central
The high plateaus and ancient volcanic peaks of south-central France.
Paris Basin
Distances views of the French capital's urban sprawl and the winding Seine River.
The Low Countries
The intricate network of canals, dikes, and the massive Port of Rotterdam.
Boknafjorden
One of Norway's largest and most beautiful fjords, signaling your arrival.
Ryfylke Mountains
The dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Norwegian interior visible during the turn to HAU.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the European mainland. Watch for the change in geography from the arid Spanish landscape to the dense forests of France and finally the watery maze of the Dutch coast. The arrival into Haugesund on this side often features spectacular views of the fjord system and the entrance to the inner mountains.
Alicante & Santa Bรกrbara Castle
Bird's eye view of the historic fortress and city skyline during the initial ascent.
Western Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the jagged mountain peaks forming the border between Spain and France.
Bordeaux Wine Region
The lush, green vineyard-dotted landscapes of southwestern France.
English Channel
The narrow stretch of water separating continental Europe from the United Kingdom.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore wind installations visible as geometric patterns in the deep blue water.
Karmรธy Archipelago
The scattered islands and rocky coastline of Norway's western edge upon final descent.
Choose the left side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of the Pyrenees about 40 minutes after takeoff. During arrival, this side provides a great view of the open North Sea meeting the Norwegian rocky coast.
