BRU → ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the dramatic Pyrenees mountain range and the diverse volcanic landscapes of the French Massif Central, especially stunning during afternoon descents.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of historic French chateaus and the winding Loire river system.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic peaks and rugged plateaus of south-central France.
Pyrenees Mountains
A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Ebro River
The wide, winding path of Spain's most significant river cutting through the Aragon region.
Iberian Plateau
The stark, beautiful ochre and red landscapes of the Spanish interior as you head toward Alicante.
The Right Side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pyrenees. The mountain crossing is the flight's peak visual moment, typically occurring mid-route; ensure you have a window seat away from the wing for the most expansive mountain vistas.
Ardennes Forest
Rolling green hills and dense forests of Southern Belgium visible shortly after takeoff.
Parisian Horizon
Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline depending on the specific flight corridor.
Costa Brava
The rugged and beautiful Mediterranean coastline of Northern Spain as the plane moves south.
Barcelona Skyline
A clear view of the Sagrada Familia and the distinct urban grid of the Catalan capital.
Balearic Sea
Sparkling turquoise waters and coastal resorts of the Costa Blanca during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 40 minutes before landing for the best views of the Spanish coastline and Barcelona's unique architecture.
