BLLAHO

Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features, including the towering Mont Blanc in the Western Alps and the rugged, cliff-lined western coast of Corsica before landing in Sardinia.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

The Black Forest

Rolling hills and dense evergreen canopies of southwestern Germany's famous forested mountain range.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps and Western Europe, often visible as a massive white massif to the west.

🏖️

French & Italian Riviera

The shimmering coastline where the Maritime Alps meet the Mediterranean Sea near Nice and Genoa.

🧗

Corsican West Coast

Stunning views of the Scandola Nature Reserve's red granite cliffs and secluded turquoise coves.

🏝️

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow, windy stretch of water separating Corsica and Sardinia, dotted with small rocky islands.

Sit on the right for the most iconic views. This side is unbeatable for seeing Mont Blanc and the dramatic, rugged western cliffs of Corsica. For late afternoon flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean as you approach Alghero. Watch for the 'Capo Caccia' cliffs during the final approach into AHO.

🏙️

Hamburg & Elbe River

Aerial view of Germany's major port city and the winding Elbe river shortly after departure.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive lake bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, visible as a vast turquoise expanse.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Dense clusters of snow-capped peaks in the heart of Switzerland, featuring the Eiger and Jungfrau regions.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as you cross from mainland Europe toward the islands.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. It provides an excellent perspective of the urban sprawl of Northern Germany and the higher density of the Central Alpine range. During the descent, keep an eye out for the eastern coastline of Corsica.
