Timanfaya Volcanic Park
Breathtaking views of the lunar-like landscapes and red volcanic cones of Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.
La Graciosa
Clear views of the smallest inhabited Canary Island and the Chinijo Archipelago as you head north.
Atlantic Ocean Panoramas
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic, often catching sunlight reflections on the water's surface.
Kerry Mountains
The dramatic peaks of MacGillycuddy's Reeks and the Ring of Kerry appearing as you approach the Irish coast.
Dingle Peninsula
Spectacular views of the jagged cliffs and sandy bays of the southwest Irish coast during the descent phase.
Sit on the left (A/B seats) to witness the volcanic 'fire' mountains of Lanzarote. For the best lighting, mid-day flights avoid direct glare on this side. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the Wild Atlantic Way scenery.

Aerial views of the white-washed resorts and turquoise bays along Lanzarote's eastern coastline.
Iberian Horizon
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the Portuguese and Galician coastlines can be spotted to the east.
Bay of Biscay
Spotting cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime routes between Spain and Ireland.
Irish Patchwork Fields
The iconic 'forty shades of green' landscape of County Cork and County Limerick during the approach.
Shannon Estuary
Wide-angle views of the Shannon River as it meets the sea just before landing at the airport.
The right side (E/F seats) is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from ACE. It also provides a better view of the inner Shannon Estuary and the patchwork fields of the Irish midlands as the plane maneuvers for landing.
