Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Jutland Peninsula

The western coast of Denmark and the vast North Sea stretching out toward the horizon.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

Dutch Delta Works

Visible patterns of dikes, reclaimed land, and the intricate coastline of the Netherlands and Belgium.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Pyrenees

The breathtaking transition from France into Spain, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep valleys.

๐Ÿšœ

Ebro River Valley

The contrast between the lush green river valley and the arid, reddish landscapes of central Aragon.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

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 highlightโ€”usually 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.

7.5
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช

Gothenburg Archipelago

View the thousands of small rocky islands and coastal inlets of the Swedish west coast immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Hamburg & Elbe River

Aerial perspective of Northern Germany's largest port city and the winding path of the Elbe River.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Massif Central

The rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient peaks of south-central France are often visible mid-flight.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Valencia Cityscape

Clear views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the massive industrial port as you track south along the coast.

๐ŸŒŠ

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.
