Sierra Nevada
Spectacular views of Mulhacén and the snow-capped high peaks of the Penibaetic System shortly after takeoff.
La Mancha Plains
The iconic, arid landscapes of Don Quixote's homeland featuring distinctive agricultural geometric patterns.
The Pyrenees
A breathtaking crossing of the jagged, snow-capped mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
The volcanic 'puys' and ancient geological formations in the heart of central France.
The Rhine River
The winding industrial and historical artery of Europe as the plane descends into the Rhineland region.
Choose the right side for morning flights to get the best light on the Pyrenees and the Sierra Nevada. During descent into Cologne, look out for the Rhine River; if the plane approaches from the south, you might catch a glimpse of the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) on this side depending on the landing runway.

Costa del Sol
Dramatic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the white-washed hillside villages of Andalusia during climb-out.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
If the flight path tracks centrally, you can spot the Cuatro Torres skyscrapers and the sprawling Spanish capital.
Bay of Biscay Coast
Visuals of the rugged coastline of northern Spain and the sandy beaches of southwestern France near Biarritz.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Aerial patterns of the world-famous wine estates in the Gironde department of France.
Ardennes Forest
The dense, rolling greenery of the Belgian and Luxembourgish border regions before entering German airspace.
The left side is preferable for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the coast isn't obstructed by the engine. On arrival into CGN, this side often sees the Eifel hills.
