ALC β TMP
Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Mediterranean coast, the highest Pyrenean peaks, distant views of the Alps, and the spectacular island archipelagos of Sweden and Finland.
Costa Blanca
Turquoise Mediterranean waters and the distinctive skyline of Benidorm immediately after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
The highest snow-capped peaks of the range, including Aneto, visible as you cross into France.
The Alps
Distant but clear vistas of the Swiss and French Alps rising over the eastern horizon.
Middle Rhine
The winding river through historic German valleys, dotted with small towns and castles.
Stockholm
A stunning aerial view of the Swedish capital and its interconnected islands and waterways.
Archipelago Sea
Thousands of tiny granite islands and skerries between Sweden and Finland, a highlight of the descent.
Choose this side for the best lighting during morning departures to see the Mediterranean glisten. During the summer, the sun stays high enough in the north to illuminate the Finnish archipelago beautifully even on late evening arrivals. In winter, midday flights are essential to see the snow-covered Baltic landscapes before the early sunset.
Meseta Central
The high-altitude plains of central Spain, showing vast agricultural patterns and arid landscapes.
Western Pyrenees
Rugged limestone peaks and lush green valleys near the border of the Basque Country.
Paris Basin
The sprawling urban landscape of the French capital, often visible depending on the specific airway.
Jutland Peninsula
The flat, sandy western coast of Denmark meeting the North Sea.
Gothenburg
A clear view of Sweden's major port city and the rocky islands of its western archipelago.
Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Biscay or the North Sea. On clear night flights, keep an eye out for the glowing grids of Paris and Brussels. Use a polarising filter for photos to cut through the haze over the French plains.
