Lanzarote Volcanics
Stunning views of the island's unique 'Lunar' landscape and Arrecife's coastline immediately after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
The dramatic mountain range separating the Iberian Peninsula from France, often featuring snow-capped peaks.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, colorful high-altitude plateau of central Spain, featuring distinct agricultural patterns.
The Black Forest
The legendary dense evergreen forest that characterizes the approach into the Baden-Baden region.
Strasbourg Skyline
A clear view of the historic city and its massive cathedral just before crossing the Rhine for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon departures to avoid the sun's glare while enjoying the Spanish landscape. This side is significantly better for the arrival sequence at FKB, as the plane typically tracks parallel to the Black Forest. Be sure to look for the transition from the arid Spanish plains to the lush greenery of central France.

During the final approach, the Vosges mountains are clearly visible across the Rhine river valley.
