ALC β KRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Kristiansand Airport (Kristiansand)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional vantage point for the dramatic transit across the Pyrenees, the intricate river systems of France, and the stunning rocky archipelago of the Southern Norwegian coast during the final descent.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high-altitude jagged peaks and deep valleys forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Loire Valley Rivers
The winding path of the Loire River surrounded by the lush green patchwork of French vineyards and historic estates.
Parisian Horizon
A distant but clear view of the sprawling Paris metropolitan area and its iconic urban layout if the flight path tracks centrally.
Zeeland Delta
The impressive Dutch engineering of dams and bridges connecting the islands of the Southwest Netherlands.
Agder Archipelago
A breathtaking view of thousands of small rocky islands and coastal inlets characteristic of the Southern Norwegian shoreline.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the North Sea. This side also offers the best perspective of the 'SΓΈrlandet' coastline during the standard approach pattern into KRS. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing.
Costa Blanca Coast
The turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of the Spanish Mediterranean coast immediately after departure.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic topography and rugged highland plateaus of South-Central France.
Alpine Silhouette
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the eastern horizon.
Benelux Urban Core
The dense, interconnected cities of Brussels, Antwerp, and the industrial Rhine-Ruhr area further east.
Jutland Peninsula
The sweeping western coastline of Denmark and its offshore wind farms as you cross into the Skagerrak.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It offers a better view of the Mediterranean coastline during the initial climb out of Alicante. During the winter, look for the contrast between the dark North Sea and the snow-covered Danish landscape.
