Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Swedish coastline at departure and the stunning Spanish Mediterranean coast, including Valencia and the Costa Blanca, during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇸🇪

Swedish Archipelago

Glimpse the rocky islands and Baltic inlets of Södermanland immediately after takeoff from Skavsta.

🌊

Baltic Sea Crossing

A wide expanse of deep blue as the plane crosses from Scandinavia towards the German coast.

🇩🇪

German Heartland

Aerial view of the organized agricultural grids and vast wind farms of the Northern German plains.

🥘

Valencia & Albufera

Clear views of the large Albufera freshwater lagoon and the urban landscape of Valencia city.

🏖️

Costa Blanca Coastline

The famous white sand beaches and turquoise waters stretching from Denia down towards Alicante.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to see the sunrise over the Baltic. During the final 20 minutes of flight, this side typically offers a spectacular parallel view of the Mediterranean coastline. If the plane approaches ALC from the north, you will see the famous skyscrapers of Benidorm clearly.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Södermanland Forests

The dense forests and numerous deep blue lakes of the Swedish countryside south of Stockholm.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

The majestic mountain range separating France and Spain, featuring jagged peaks that are often snow-capped.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The distinct transition to the arid, reddish-brown and ochre landscapes of the Spanish interior.

🏰

Alicante Hinterland

Rugged limestone mountains and small whitewashed villages of the Alicante province during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Spanish plateau. The Pyrenees crossing is the absolute highlight, occurring roughly 2 to 2.5 hours into the flight; keep your camera ready for the dramatic change in terrain from green French valleys to the dry Spanish heights.
