Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for the High Alps and the stunning Mediterranean coastline of France, offering dramatic contrasts between sea and snow-capped peaks.
Balearic Sea
Expansive views of the Mediterranean with the Balearic Islands often visible on the horizon.
French Riviera
The glittering coastline of Marseille and the surrounding Calanques National Park.
The High Alps
Spectacular panoramas of the Western Alps, often including glimpses of Mont Blanc.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the tri-border area of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Swabian Jura
The limestone plateau of Southern Germany dotted with historic towns and castles.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine views. For the best lighting on the mountains, morning flights are ideal. Approximately 20 minutes before landing, look for the distinctive turquoise waters of Lake Constance. Ensure your window is clean as the Alpine reflection can be very bright.
Costa Azahar
The beautiful 'Orange Blossom Coast' of Spain stretching north from Valencia.
Eastern Pyrenees
The rugged transition between the Iberian Peninsula and mainland Europe.
Rhône Valley
Aerial views of the historic French wine regions and the winding Rhône River.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald in Southwest Germany.
Stuttgart Region
The urban sprawl and industrial heartland of Baden-Württemberg.
The left side is preferable on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Massif Central in France during the mid-flight segment. During the descent into Nuremberg, you may see the Franconian Heights if the approach is from the west.
