Search flights from ACE to BIO
Lanzarote Volcanics
The unique Martian landscapes of Timanfaya National Park visible during the initial climb.
Chinijo Archipelago
Stunning aerial view of La Graciosa and the surrounding islets just north of Lanzarote's coast.
Portuguese Horizon
Distant views of the Tagus estuary and the Lisbon coastline on clear days while tracking north.
Cantabrian Mountains
The lush, green mountain range that defines the landscape of the Basque Country.
Bay of Biscay Inlets
The winding Ría de Bilbao and the rugged cliffs of the Biscay province during final approach.
Sit here to see the Chinijo Archipelago shortly after takeoff. On the approach to Bilbao Airport, you will get a better look at the green valleys of Euskadi and the mouth of the Nervión river. If flying during the day, the morning sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the first half of the flight.

Endless Atlantic
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean during the mid-flight cruise phase.
Picos de Europa
Dramatic views of these limestone peaks during the descent into Northern Spain if the route tracks slightly inland.
Gijón Coastline
The industrial and coastal beauty of the Asturian shoreline visible as the plane tracks east along the coast.
Maritime Traffic
Cargo ships and tankers navigating the Bay of Biscay toward major European ports.
Best for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Watch for the Picos de Europa mountains on the descent, which can often be seen breaking through the characteristic 'sirimiri' cloud layer of Northern Spain. This side is typically quieter for glare during morning flights.
