Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most scenic descent, featuring panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and a direct look at Alicante’s historic landmarks during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Berlin Urban Core

Aerial perspectives of central Berlin's landmarks and the Spree river immediately after departure.

🏔️

Swiss Alps Horizon

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible to the south as you transit central Europe.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The dramatic transition where the French coastline meets the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea.

🏖️

Costa Blanca Coastline

Vibrant views of the Spanish shore, including the white sand beaches of Benidorm and Villajoyosa.

🏰

Santa Bárbara Castle

The historic fortification atop Mount Benacantil overlooking the city and port during the final descent.

For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be needed initially. However, the coastal views during the final 20 minutes of the flight are unbeatable. If the aircraft lands towards the south, you will have a perfect view of the Alicante harbor and the city's iconic waterfront promenade.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Potsdam Palaces

A view of the historic Sanssouci Park and the sprawling lakes surrounding the city of Potsdam.

🚢

Rhine-Main Region

The industrial and natural landscape of western Germany, including major river junctions.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain range separating France and Spain with jagged limestone peaks.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The high-altitude plateau of central Spain, showing unique red-earth agricultural patterns.

⛰️

Serra Aitana

The rugged limestone mountains of the Alicante province just before the plane turns for its final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Spanish interior. You get a much better view of the Pyrenees mountain range as the flight path typically crosses the central portion of the chain. Keep an eye out for the contrast between the green French forests and the arid Spanish landscape as you cross the border.
