Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more scenic experience, starting with the beautiful Spanish Mediterranean coastline and finishing with a breathtaking descent over the Norwegian fjords and islands.
Costa Blanca
Crystal clear turquoise waters and the white sandy beaches of eastern Spain shortly after departure.
Valencia
The historic city center and the modern City of Arts and Sciences visible as you track north.
Eastern Pyrenees
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys during the mid-flight mountain crossing.
North Sea Platforms
Massive industrial oil and gas infrastructure standing in the middle of the open sea.
Rogaland Fjords
The dramatic and jagged coastline of Southern Norway during the final descent into Stavanger.
The right side is essential for the approach into Stavanger; you will see the complex network of islands and deep Ryfylke fjords. Ensure you have your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best Norwegian landscapes. On evening flights, this side also captures the reflection of the sunset over the North Sea.
Alicante Skyline
Views of the city and Mount Benacantil immediately after takeoff from ALC.
Pyrenees Peaks
High-altitude views of the central mountain range separating Spain and France.
Loire Valley
The winding rivers and lush green landscapes of central France visible during the cruise phase.
English Channel
The world's busiest shipping lane visible before crossing into the North Sea.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you for better photography. This side is also excellent for viewing the dense city lights of the Benelux region on late-night flights. Watch for the dramatic change from the dry Spanish plateau to the lush forests of central France about 45 minutes into the flight.
