Which side of the plane to sit from Växjö Kronoberg Airport (Vaxjo) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, featuring distant views of the Alps and a stunning coastal approach along the Spanish Costa Blanca.
Swedish Archipelago
Aerial views of the fragmented islands and coastline of Southern Sweden immediately after departure.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far horizon while crossing Central Europe.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
A breathtaking view of the Catalonian coastline and the dense urban grid of Barcelona as you fly south.
Ebro Delta
The unique arrow-shaped wetland formation where the Ebro River meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Costa Blanca Approach
Sweeping views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches as the plane descends into Alicante.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the stunning contrast between the deep blue Mediterranean and the rugged Spanish cliffs. This side is also better for spotting the Balearic Islands in the distance.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge-tunnel system connecting Sweden and Denmark is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Parisian Basin
The sprawling urban landscape surrounding Paris, often identifiable by the distinct radial road patterns.
The Pyrenees
A magnificent crossing of the high-altitude mountain range that forms the natural border between France and Spain.
Iberian Meseta
The vast, arid, and reddish-hued high plateau of central Spain, offering a stark contrast to the green North.
Santa Bárbara Castle
The historic fortification atop Mount Benacantil may be visible if the aircraft performs a western loop for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides the most dramatic views of the Pyrenees mountain peaks. If the wind requires a landing from the north, you will get an excellent view of the inland mountains of the Alicante province.
