Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic French Atlantic coastline, the sprawling vineyards of the Bordeaux region, and a stunning perspective of the high Spanish Meseta plateau before descending over the rugged Sierra de Aitana.

Right Side Highlights

🌳

Chiltern Hills

Rolling green landscapes of the English countryside immediately after takeoff from LTN.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The rugged western coastline of France where the land meets the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

A patchwork of world-famous vineyards and the winding Garonne river in southwestern France.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

The lush, green slopes of the Basque mountains transitioning into the high peaks of the Pyrenees.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The high, golden plateau of central Spain, characterized by its arid beauty and unique geological formations.

⛰️

Sierra de Aitana

The limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Prebaetic System during the descent into Alicante.

Highly recommended for late afternoon or evening flights to experience spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic and the Spanish interior. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Pyrenees for the most dramatic terrain changes. This side often gets a better view of the inland mountain ranges surrounding the airport.

🏙️

London Panorama

Expansive views of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure from Luton.

🚢

The English Channel

Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the northern French coast.

🏰

Santa Barbara Castle

A glimpse of the historic fortress overlooking Alicante city during the final approach phase.

🏖️

Costa Blanca Shores

The turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the Mediterranean coastline just before touchdown.

Ideal for morning departures to avoid the direct glare of the sun. On clear days, look for the pink-hued salt lakes of Torrevieja to the south during the final descent. If the aircraft approaches from the sea, this side offers a direct view of the Alicante city harbor.
