Sierra de Grazalema
Initial climb out of Malaga provides views of the limestone peaks and white villages of the Andalusian interior.
Bay of Biscay
A long stretch of deep blue ocean as you transition from the Iberian Peninsula toward the French coast.
Brittany Coastline
The jagged western edge of France, featuring the islands and rocky inlets around Brest and the Armorique Natural Park.
English Channel
Spotting container ships and ferries navigating the world's busiest shipping lane between France and the UK.
The Lake District
On the final approach to Newcastle, look west to see the high peaks of Cumbria, including Scafell Pike and Helvellyn.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you or to the right. Keep your camera ready as you cross the UK coastline near Devon or Cornwall; the contrast of the blue water against the green fields is stunning. During the descent, the left side often gets a clearer view of the Pennines and the Lake District before turning for the final runway alignment.

Madrid Skyline
Distant views of the Spanish capital and the Cuatro Torres Business Area skyscrapers mid-way through the Spanish leg.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its surrounding chateaus are visible as the flight traverses central-western France.
The Midlands
Aerial views of Birmingham and the industrial heartland of England as you head north from the Channel.
Peak District
Rolling hills and limestone plateaus of central England visible shortly before beginning the descent.
Angel of the North
If the flight approaches from the south, you might spot Antony Gormley's famous sculpture near Gateshead just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for seeing the urban sprawl of central Spain and England. If the flight is in the late afternoon, be aware of glare from the setting sun. For the best landing views, look out for the River Tyne and its iconic bridges as you make the final approach; however, these are highly dependent on the specific approach pattern (Runway 07 vs Runway 25).
