Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Växjö Kronoberg Airport (Vaxjo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the stunning Mediterranean coastline, the high Pyrenees, and a better angle for the Alpine horizon and the approach into Scandinavia.
Costa Blanca
Crystal-clear Mediterranean waters and white sandy beaches immediately after takeoff.
Pyrenees Range
The dramatic, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the distant but majestic skyline of the Swiss and French Alps is visible.
Oresund Region
The iconic bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden and the busy shipping lanes of the Baltic.
Småland Lakelands
The dense pine forests and thousands of shimmering lakes characteristic of southern Sweden.
Sit on the right for the best coastal views at departure. During the middle of the flight, look far to the east to spot the Alps. As you approach Växjö, the right side typically provides a better view of the fragmented coastline and the transition into the deep Swedish forests. Early morning or late afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side.
Iberian System
Rugged mountains and deep valleys of the Aragon region in eastern Spain.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and lush green hills of south-central France.
Low Countries
Intricate networks of canals, polders, and fields across the Netherlands and Belgium.
Danish Hinterland
The flat, patchwork agricultural landscapes of the Jutland peninsula.
This side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight during midday flights heading north. It offers a more consistent view of the rural European heartland and the dramatic change from the arid Spanish interior to the verdant French countryside.
