Which side of the plane to sit from Stavanger Airport Sola (Stavanger) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic transitions, specifically the crossing of the Pyrenees mountain range and the rugged interior of the Spanish Meseta before descending into Alicante.

North Sea Rigs
On clear days, spot the industrial outposts of oil and gas platforms dotting the North Sea between Norway and Europe.
Loire Valley
View the winding rivers and vast forest tracts of central France, occasionally catching a glimpse of historic estates.
The Pyrenees
The flight's crown jewel: a spectacular crossing of the snow-capped border peaks between France and Spain.
Aragonese Steppes
Observe the dramatic shift to arid, reddish landscapes and canyon-like formations as you enter central Spain.
Alicante Mountains
During the final descent, enjoy views of the limestone ridges like Maigmó and Aitana that surround the Costa Blanca.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The Pyrenees crossing occurs roughly 2.5 hours into the flight; be ready with your camera as the transition from green French fields to jagged peaks is sudden. During the descent into ALC, the right side provides a great view of the inland mountainous terrain of the Alicante province.

Jæren Coastline
Immediately after takeoff, view the unique flat landscape and long sandy beaches of the Norwegian coast south of Stavanger.
Low Countries Coast
Spot the intricate dikes, ports, and wind farms of the Dutch or Belgian coastline depending on the specific airway.
French Countryside
Look down upon the rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the Champagne and Burgundy regions.
Mediterranean Entry
As the flight nears the Spanish border, see the deep blue of the Gulf of Lion and the beginning of the Costa Brava.
Barcelona & Coast
Often visible in the distance to the east, the sprawling metro area of Barcelona and the glittering Balearic Sea.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the North Sea. As you approach Alicante, this side often looks out toward the Mediterranean, which is beautiful but can be repetitive compared to the inland terrain. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Ebro River Delta near the halfway point of the Spanish coast.
