ALC β HEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its spectacular views of the Pyrenees shortly after takeoff and the intricate Finnish islands during arrival.
Mediterranean Coast
The blue waters of the Balearic Sea and the city of Valencia to the east.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high peaks separating Spain and France.
The Alps
Distant views of the Swiss and French Alps on clear days over Central Europe.
Central European Cities
The industrial heartlands and historic cities of Germany and Poland.
Finnish Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of islands during the approach to Helsinki.
Keep your camera ready during the first hour for the Pyrenees crossing. The descent into Helsinki offers a breathtaking view of the archipelago; window seats away from the wing provide the clearest views.
Castilian Plains
The rugged and arid landscapes of the Spanish interior shortly after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the historic chΓ’teaux and the winding Loire river in France.
Paris Skyline
Potential sightings of the French capital depending on the specific flight corridor.
North Sea Coast
The Dutch and German coastlines featuring the Frisian Islands.
Baltic Sunset
On evening flights, enjoy a prolonged sunset over the open sea.
Great for sunset viewing over the Baltic Sea on late afternoon flights. Provides a clear view of the North Sea coastline and Benelux region. During summer, the high latitude means extended twilight.
