Oslofjord Departure
Stunning views of the rugged Norwegian coastline and the numerous islands dotting the Oslofjord immediately after takeoff.
Benelux Urban Sprawl
Aerial perspective of the densely populated Randstad region, including views of Rotterdam and its massive port infrastructure.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the eastern outskirts of Paris and the sprawling French countryside are visible during the cruise phase.
Central Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain, showcasing the highest peaks of the range.
Valencia City
Clear views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the distinct port of Valencia as the plane begins its descent.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Breathtaking views of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of Benidorm and Villajoyosa during the final approach.
Sit on the left to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun while flying south. This side is superior for the arrival phase, as the standard approach into Alicante (ALC) usually follows the Mediterranean coastline, providing panoramic views of the Spanish resorts. In winter, look for the sharp contrast between the snowy Pyrenees and the dry Spanish interior.

Frisian Islands
The unique arc of the West Frisian Islands and the Wadden Sea's intricate tidal patterns are visible to the west.
French Vineyards
Bird's-eye view of the vast agricultural patterns and famous wine-producing regions of western France.
Western Pyrenees
The dramatic transition where the Pyrenees mountains meet the Bay of Biscay in the distance.
Spanish Meseta
The rugged, reddish-brown landscapes of the high Spanish plateau, offering a stark contrast to the greenery of Northern Europe.
Santa Bárbara Castle
Depending on the landing direction, you might catch a glimpse of Alicante's historic hilltop fortress just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching sunset views if you are on a late afternoon flight. It offers better views of the open sea and the Atlantic-facing side of the Pyrenees. However, be prepared for significant sun glare during midday flights heading south. If the wind requires a landing from the south, the right side may get a better view of the city center.
