Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior sequence of geographical landmarks, including a distant view of the Alps, the Mediterranean coastline of France and Spain, and a scenic approach into Alicante.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Kaunas Reservoir

A massive body of water on the Nemunas River visible immediately after takeoff from KUN.

🏔️

The Alps

Mid-flight views of the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps stretching across the horizon.

🏖️

Gulf of Lion

The dramatic curve of the southern French coast where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain.

🏙️

Costa Brava & Barcelona

Distant views of the Catalan coastline and the dense urban grid of Barcelona as you head south.

⛱️

Costa Blanca

A stunning low-altitude view of the white sandy beaches and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean during descent.

For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to see the Mediterranean sun reflecting off the water. The left side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the plane often tracks parallel to the Spanish coast, offering views of Benidorm's skyscrapers and the Santa Bárbara Castle in Alicante.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Lithuanian Forests

Expansive views of the dense greenery and rural landscapes of Southern Lithuania and Northern Poland.

🏘️

German Heartland

Bird's eye view of the organized agricultural patterns and industrial hubs of Germany.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient, extinct volcanic peaks of south-central France, offering a unique geological landscape.

🌾

Ebro River Valley

The winding path of the Ebro River through the arid, reddish landscapes of Northern Spain.

🧗

Sierra de Aitana

The rugged limestone mountain ranges of the Alicante province visible during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as it stays in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without window glare. Keep a keen eye out over France for the 'Chaîne des Puys'—a chain of volcanic craters. On descent, you'll get a great look at the rugged, dry interior mountains of the Valencian Community.
