Which side of the plane to sit from Tromsø Airport, (Tromso) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior balance of the high-altitude Scandinavian peaks during departure and a breathtaking panoramic view of the Mediterranean coastline during the descent into Alicante.
Scandinavian Mountains
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks of Northern Norway and the Swedish border shortly after takeoff.
Øresund Bridge
Visible as you transition from Sweden to Denmark, connecting Malmö and Copenhagen across the strait.
European Cityscapes
Depending on the corridor, views of Hamburg or the outskirts of Berlin as the flight crosses Central Europe.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the rugged mountain range that forms the natural border between France and Spain.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Striking views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun which will be on the right. During winter night flights, this side offers a higher chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis over the Arctic circle. As you approach Alicante, keep your camera ready for the transition from the high Pyrenees to the Mediterranean Sea.
Norwegian Fjords
Stunning aerial perspectives of the deep fjords and coastal islands surrounding the Tromsø region.
Svartisen Glacier
One of Norway's largest glaciers can often be spotted if the flight path follows the western coastline.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distant sprawl of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible when traversing French airspace.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the 'Garden of France,' famous for its historic châteaux and sprawling vineyards.
Alicante City & Castle
A clear view of Santa Bárbara Castle and the city harbor during the final stages of landing.
The right side is exceptional for the first 30 minutes of the flight out of Tromsø, offering the best views of the island and Kvaløya. In the summer, the midnight sun will be visible from this side for a significant portion of the journey. When landing in Alicante, you may see the pink-hued salt lakes of Torrevieja to the south.
