KRS → ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Kristiansand Airport (Kristiansand) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged Massif Central, the spectacular crossing of the Pyrenees, and the dramatic mountainous descent into Alicante.
Rotterdam Port
Look down for the massive infrastructure and container ships of Europe's largest seaport.
Massif Central
Fly over the ancient volcanic peaks and deep river gorges of south-central France.
Pyrenees Mountains
The most dramatic portion of the flight, offering views of jagged, snow-capped peaks at the border.
Ebro River Valley
The winding Ebro river cutting through the arid, reddish landscapes of northern Spain.
Aitana Ridge
The rugged limestone mountains of the Betic Cordillera that frame the approach into Alicante.
The Pyrenees crossing occurs roughly 2.5 hours into the flight; be ready with a camera. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Spanish interior, but the sun will be on this side during southbound travel, so window shades may be needed.
Skagerrak Strait
Immediately after takeoff, view the deep blue waters connecting the North Sea and the Baltic.
Frisian Islands
The long chain of sandy barrier islands along the German and Dutch coastlines.
Barcelona Skyline
On clear days, see the sprawling Catalan capital and the unique shape of Montserrat mountain.
Costa Blanca
The shimmering turquoise Mediterranean coastline as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Albufera Lagoon
The massive freshwater lagoon and rice paddies south of Valencia are clearly visible from high altitude.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It is ideal for spotting the Balearic Islands like Ibiza on the distant horizon during the Mediterranean segment of the flight.
