Sierra Nevada
The snow-capped peaks of mainland Spain's highest range, including Mulhacen, visible shortly after departure from Malaga.
The Pyrenees
A magnificent crossing of the high-altitude border between Spain and France, showcasing dramatic ridges and glacial valleys.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped 'Lac Leman' with the city of Geneva and its famous Jet d'Eau often visible on the descent.
Swiss Alps
Panoramic views of the high Alps, including potential sightings of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau peaks to the south.
Zurich & Lake
The final approach provides a sweeping view of Lake Zurich and the city's neat urban layout before touching down.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Roughly 50 minutes into the flight, the Pyrenees offer the best photo opportunities. For morning flights, this side remains in the shade, providing better visibility and less window reflection for photography.

Costa del Sol
Aerial views of the western Malaga coastline and the turquoise waters of the Alboran Sea during initial climb.
La Mancha Plains
The vast, golden-hued plateau of central Spain, famous for its historic windmills and agricultural patterns.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic peaks and deep gorges of south-central France, offering a rugged contrast to the plains.
Jura Mountains
The distinctive folded limestone ridges that define the border region between France and Switzerland.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the expansive Spanish interior. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights as the light catches the Jura ridges, but be prepared for direct sun glare during afternoon northbound departures.
