Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a continuous panorama of the Spanish coastline and the highest peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, making it the superior choice for this route.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Lake Constance

Directly after takeoff, see the massive 'Bodensee' where three countries meet.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The 'Roof of Europe' is often visible in the distance as the plane crosses the Alpine ridge.

🏙️

Barcelona Cityscape

A clear view of the Sagrada Familia and the Eixample district grid as you fly down the coast.

🏞️

Ebro Delta

A striking geographic feature where the Ebro River meets the Mediterranean in a bird-wing shape.

🥘

Valencia and Albufera

Spain's third city and its famous coastal lagoon, the birthplace of paella.

🏖️

Costa Blanca Cliffs

The dramatic white cliffs and tourist resorts of Benidorm appearing just before landing.

This side is essential for coastline spotting. For evening flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the Spanish interior. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Ebro Delta and Barcelona.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Swiss Alps Massif

Stunning views looking deep into the central Swiss peaks shortly after departure from Memmingen.

💧

Lake Annecy

A glimpse of France's cleanest lake nestled among the Prealps.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The expansive salt marshes and lagoons of the Rhone Delta in Southern France.

🚢

Alicante Port

On final approach, views of the bustling harbor and the blue Mediterranean horizon.

Sit on the left for the best morning light across the Alps without glare. During the final descent into ALC, keep your eyes peeled for the Santa Barbara Castle perched on Mount Benacantil.
