BSL → ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the clear winner, offering a breathtaking sequence of the Swiss Alps at departure, the Mediterranean coastline of France, a stunning aerial view of Barcelona, and the turquoise waters of the Costa Blanca.
Swiss Alps Panorama
Distant but impressive views of the Bernese Oberland peaks shortly after departing the BSL region.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva are often visible as the flight tracks south.
Gulf of Lion
A long stretch of the French Mediterranean coast, including the lagoons of the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
Barcelona Skyline
Exceptional views of the Eixample grid and the Sagrada Familia when following the standard coastal airway.
Costa Blanca
Crystal clear views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the skyscrapers of Benidorm during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the Left Side (A/B) for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the coastline. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Spanish coast.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of south-central France offer a dramatic landscape mid-flight.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high peaks marking the natural border between France and Spain.
Montserrat Mountain
Look for the distinctive multi-peaked jagged limestone range located near Barcelona.
Spanish Hinterlands
The arid, orange-hued landscapes of eastern Spain provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the sea.
Choose the Right Side (E/F) for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft. This side is superior for geologists and mountain lovers, specifically for the direct overhead views of the Pyrenees.
