Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most diverse scenery, beginning with the stunning turquoise waters of the Costa Blanca and concluding with a picturesque descent over the Oslofjord and the city of Oslo.

Right Side Highlights

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Montserrat & Pyrenees

Views of the unique serrated Montserrat mountain range followed by the high peaks of the eastern Pyrenees.

๐Ÿ‡

Rhone Valley

The plane often tracks near the lush vineyards and winding rivers of southeastern France.

๐Ÿšข

German Bight

Observe the massive offshore wind farms and heavy shipping traffic in the North Sea near Germany.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด

Oslofjord & City

A stunning approach over the islands of the Oslofjord, often providing a direct view of Oslo's city center.

The right side is superior for the departure from Alicante; sit here to see the beaches you just left. For the arrival into Oslo (OSL), the right side typically offers a spectacular view of the archipelago and the city's modern architecture like the Opera House. In winter, this side catches the early morning sun, making the snowy landscapes of Scandinavia glow.

Left Side Highlights

Paris Outskirts

Depending on the specific airway, the western suburbs and the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Danish West Coast

The sandy beaches and dunes of Jutland visible before crossing the Skagerrak into Norway.

The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic and North Sea. It provides a better perspective of the Dutch coastline and the intricate polder systems if the route drifts westward. Keep an eye out for the twinkling lights of Brussels or Amsterdam during night flights.
