BGO โ ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Norwegian fjords at departure and a continuous scenic panorama of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, including Barcelona and Valencia, during the descent.
Hardangerfjord
Breathtaking views of Norway's deep glacial valleys and rugged coastal mountains immediately after takeoff.
Low Countries
An aerial view of the dense urban networks and intricate canal systems of the Netherlands and Belgium.
Gulf of Lion
The transition from the French mainland to the Mediterranean Sea near the Rhรดne river delta.
Barcelona Skyline
Clear views of the Sagrada Famรญlia and the distinct grid pattern of the Eixample district as you track the coast.
Costa Blanca
Turquoise waters and the white sandy beaches of the Spanish coast leading into the final approach.
Book the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the final 45 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Ebro Delta and the coastal skyscrapers of Benidorm. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Norwegian mountains and the sunny Spanish coast is most striking.
Norwegian Archipelago
The thousands of small islands and skerries that dot the western coast of Norway.
North Sea Traffic
Major shipping lanes and distant offshore wind farms visible across the expanse of the North Sea.
Paris Basin
On clear days, the expansive sprawl of the French capital and the winding Seine river can be spotted in the distance.
The Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing over the high, jagged peaks of the mountain range separating France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plains and arid, red-earth landscapes of the Spanish interior.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon and the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out for the unique jagged rock formations of the Montserrat massif shortly after crossing the Pyrenees.
