BLQ → ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Mediterranean coastline, providing clear views of the French Riviera, the Spanish Pyrenees in the distance, and the vibrant cities of Barcelona and Valencia.
Côte d'Azur
Stunning views of the French Riviera, including the rugged coastline of Nice, Cannes, and the Esterel Massif.
Barcelona Skyline
A clear view of the iconic Eixample grid, Sagrada Família, and the bustling port area.
Costa Dorada
The golden beaches of the Spanish coast stretching towards the Ebro Delta.
Valencia
The futuristic City of Arts and Sciences is often visible as you approach the Valencian coastline.
Montgó Massif
The impressive 'elephant' mountain near Dénia marks the final stretch into Alicante.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this route. Sit here for late afternoon flights to see the sunset reflecting off the Mediterranean coast. Look out for the distinct grid pattern of Barcelona and the unique turquoise lagoons of the Ebro Delta. Seats behind the wing are recommended for unobstructed photography of the coastline.
Apennine Mountains
Views of the northern rugged ridges of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines shortly after takeoff from Bologna.
Tuscan Archipelago
Possible distant sightings of Elba and the smaller islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Balearic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water, particularly striking during the mid-flight cruise.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. While mostly overlooking the sea, it offers a peaceful, meditative view and a better perspective of the Balearic Islands if the flight path tracks further south.
