BRE → ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is favored for its sweeping views of the Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic descent over the Costa Blanca. It provides the best perspective of the sea-land interface and major coastal cities like Barcelona during the transit south.
Rhine-Main Region
Aerial views of the industrial heart of western Germany and the winding Rhine river.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps are visible far on the eastern horizon.
Mediterranean Entry
The first sight of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the flight leaves the French coast.
Barcelona Skyline
A stunning panoramic view of the Catalan capital and its famous grid-like Eixample district.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters leading directly into Alicante Airport.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Approximately 30-40 minutes before landing, look out for the Ebro Delta, a unique kite-shaped wetland. During the final approach into ALC, the left side typically offers a view of the Santa Barbara Castle perched on Mount Benacantil.
Parisian Basin
The vast agricultural plains of northern France with distant views of the Paris metropolitan area.
Massif Central
The rugged, volcanic landscape of central France featuring ancient craters and plateaus.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high mountain peaks that form the natural border between France and Spain.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plateau of central Spain, characterized by its arid, ochre-colored terrain.
Sierra de Aitana
The limestone ridges and deep valleys of the mountains surrounding the Alicante province.
The right side is the best choice for mountain enthusiasts, particularly for the direct overflight of the Pyrenees. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the Spanish interior. Keep an eye out for the transition from the lush green of southern France to the semi-arid landscapes of eastern Spain.
