Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Cedar City to Alicante. While takeoff favors the right for Utah's dramatic geology, the landing view over the Mediterranean and Alicante's coastal setting is more visually rewarding and spans a longer portion of the descent. The Mediterranean approach is the highlight of this transatlantic route.

During takeoff from Cedar City Rgnl (CDC), sit on the Right side for the best views. Cedar City Regional typically departs to the north or northeast. Right-side seats offer views of the red rock formations of the Markagunt Plateau and the Pine Valley Mountains, which rise dramatically just north of the airport. Left side faces the less distinctive terrain toward the Arizona border. Notable sights include: Markagunt Plateau (red sandstone cliffs), Pine Valley Mountains, Cedar Breaks National Monument rim, Hurricane Cliffs to the southwest.

When landing at Alicante (ALC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching Alicante from the west typically uses runways aligned east-west. Left-side seats on descent provide views of the Mediterranean coast, the city of Alicante spreading across the coastal plain, and the distinctive rocky headland of Cabo de Santa Pola. Right side faces inland toward less visually distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Mediterranean Sea, Alicante city and harbor, Cabo de Santa Pola headland, Tabarca Island (small, visible offshore).

The flight from Cedar City Rgnl (CDC) to Alicante (ALC) takes Approximately 11.5 to 12.5 hours.

This routing crosses the continental US (Great Plains, Appalachians visible on clear days), the Atlantic Ocean (typically 6-7 hours of open water with occasional ship traffic and weather systems), and approaches Europe over Portugal or southern Spain. The Strait of Gibraltar and North African coast may be visible on the southern approach to Alicante depending on routing. Most of the flight is over water with limited landmark visibility during the mid-Atlantic phase.
