GOT โ ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the North Sea coastline, the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees, and the famous high-rise skyline of the Costa Blanca during the final approach.
Jutland Peninsula
The western coast of Denmark and the vast North Sea stretching out toward the horizon.
Dutch Delta Works
Visible patterns of dikes, reclaimed land, and the intricate coastline of the Netherlands and Belgium.
The Pyrenees
The breathtaking transition from France into Spain, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep valleys.
Ebro River Valley
The contrast between the lush green river valley and the arid, reddish landscapes of central Aragon.
Benidorm Skyline
The 'Manhattan of Spain' with its dense cluster of skyscrapers is a highlight just before landing at ALC.
The right side is unbeatable for sunset views on evening flights from Sweden. The Pyrenees crossing is the highlightโusually occurring about two-thirds of the way through the flight. To see the Benidorm skyline and the Alicante coastline clearly, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the ground isn't obstructed during the descent bank.
Gothenburg Archipelago
View the thousands of small rocky islands and coastal inlets of the Swedish west coast immediately after takeoff.
Hamburg & Elbe River
Aerial perspective of Northern Germany's largest port city and the winding path of the Elbe River.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient peaks of south-central France are often visible mid-flight.
Valencia Cityscape
Clear views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the massive industrial port as you track south along the coast.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue Mediterranean vistas as the aircraft begins its descent into the Alicante region.
Sit on the left for the best morning light when flying south, which avoids direct sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the plane mirrors the Spanish coastline. Keep an eye out for the distant peaks of the Alps to the far left when crossing over Eastern France.
