MOLALC

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Sunnmøre Alps shortly after departure and a superior angle for the high peaks of the Pyrenees.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Sunnmøre Alps

Immediately after takeoff from Molde, gaze at the razor-sharp peaks and deep-cut fjords of western Norway.

🇳🇱

Randstad Urban Area

Excellent views of Amsterdam's canal grid and the dense urban cluster of the Netherlands.

🏰

Champagne Region

The rolling vineyards and historic cathedrals of northeast France are visible during the cruise.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A breathtaking crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain.

🏜️

Iberian System

Witness the rugged, reddish landscapes and dramatic canyons of eastern Spain.

🍊

Valencia Orchard Belt

The lush green citrus groves surrounding Valencia provide a sharp contrast to the arid mountains.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The left side is particularly stunning during the first 20 minutes and the final hour. In winter, early morning flights offer a spectacular sunrise over the Norwegian mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Atlantic Road Area

Catch glimpses of the iconic bridges and islets along the Norwegian coastline.

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

The massive infrastructure of Europe's largest seaport is clearly visible near the coast.

🗼

Paris Basin

On clear days, the outskirts of Paris and the winding Seine River can be spotted.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Views of the lower, greener Pyrenean peaks as you cross into the Iberian Peninsula.

🌾

Ebro Delta

Look for the distinctive triangular delta where the Ebro river meets the Mediterranean.

🏝️

Costa Blanca Coast

Stunning views of the turquoise sea and high-rise skylines of Benidorm and Alicante on approach.

The right side is ideal for views of the Spanish coastline during the descent. If the aircraft lands from the south (Runway 28), you will get a panoramic view of the Mediterranean and the city of Alicante. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the haze over the North Sea.
