ALC → MOL
Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Molde Airport (Molde)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a magnificent traverse of the Pyrenees early in the flight and provides the most dramatic views of the Romsdal Alps during the final approach into Molde.
The Pyrenees
Spectacular crossing of the high mountain range separating the Iberian Peninsula from France.
Loire Valley
Views of the winding Loire River and the verdant countryside of central France.
Paris Region
The dense urban sprawl of the Greater Paris area is often visible to the east on this trajectory.
North Sea Energy
Spotting massive offshore wind farms and oil platforms in the waters between Denmark and Norway.
Romsdal Alps
The iconic 'Molde Panorama' featuring over 200 snow-capped peaks visible during the descent.
The right side is essential for the iconic landing at Molde. As the plane descends into Romsdalsfjorden, you will see the jagged peaks of the Romsdal Alps. In winter, ensure you have a window seat to see these mountains covered in snow. During the first hour of flight, look out for the transition from the dry Spanish landscapes to the lush greens of France over the Pyrenees.
Bay of Biscay Coast
Aerial views of the rugged coastline where Western France meets the Atlantic Ocean.
English Channel
A perspective of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes with the UK coastline often visible in the distance.
Sognefjord System
Visuals of the deep, blue waters of Norway's longest fjord cutting deep into the mainland.
Norwegian Archipelago
Thousands of small, rocky islands and coastal communities scattered along the North Sea edge.
Ålesund Surroundings
Stunning coastal topography as the flight passes near the Art Nouveau city of Ålesund.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the golden hour over the Norwegian fjords. This side is also better for spotting the vastness of the North Sea and the intricate coastline of western Norway. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes before landing for the best fjord photography.
