Timanfaya Volcanic Craters
Dramatic bird's-eye view of Lanzarote’s lunar-like volcanic landscape and lava fields immediately after takeoff.
La Graciosa & Chinijo
The smallest inhabited Canary Island and its surrounding marine reserve visible off the northern tip of Lanzarote.
Bay of Biscay Coastline
Sweeping views of the Atlantic meeting the French western coast, particularly near the Gironde estuary.
Loire Valley Chateaux
Aerial perspective of the sprawling estates and the longest river in France as you cross toward the northeast.
Charleroi Industrial Heritage
Unique views of the 'Pays Noir' industrial architecture and old coal mines during the final approach to CRL.
Book a window seat behind the wing to capture the volcanic terrain of Lanzarote without obstruction. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sun glare while crossing the Atlantic, making it easier to spot the contrast between the deep blue ocean and the white-capped waves. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Picos de Europa in northern Spain far to the east.

Paris Peripheral View

Ardennes Foothills
The dense, rolling green forests of southern Belgium as the aircraft descends into the Wallonia region.
Excellent for photography on afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the French countryside and the Ardennes forest. Keep an eye out for the distinctive shape of the Seine river as you approach the Belgian border. Be aware that during mid-day flights, the sun can be quite intense on this side while flying north, so keep the window shade partially down if needed.
