KTW โ ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular crossing of the Western Alps and the Pyrenees, followed by a dramatic descent over the rugged mountains of the Costa Blanca and the famous Benidorm skyline.
Western Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest European peaks, often including the Mont Blanc massif depending on the corridor.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscapes and deep river gorges of Southern France.
The Pyrenees
A direct crossing of the jagged, high-altitude peaks that form the natural border between France and Spain.
Benidorm Skyline
The iconic high-rise architecture of Benidorm, often visible during the approach into Alicante.
Sierra Aitana
The dramatic limestone ridges and rugged terrain of the Valencian mountains just before landing.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic mountain photography. If the aircraft approaches Alicante from the north, this side provides an unbeatable view of the Peรฑรณn de Ifach in Calpe and the Benidorm skyscrapers. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Pyrenees peaks.
High Tatras
Distant views of the highest range in the Carpathians shortly after departure from Katowice.
Central Alps
A sweeping panorama of snow-capped peaks across the Austrian and Swiss alpine regions.
Gulf of Lion
The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean Sea as the flight tracks the southern French coast.
Costa Blanca
Views of the sparkling coastline and turquoise waters while approaching the Alicante region.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to witness the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. During the final descent, look towards the horizon to potentially spot the Balearic Islands, particularly Ibiza, in the distance.
