Costa Blanca
Sweeping views of the turquoise Mediterranean waters and the iconic Peñón de Ifach rock in Calpe.
Ebro Delta
The unique, bird-head shaped wetlands where the Ebro River meets the sea, visible from high altitude.
Central Pyrenees
Direct views of the highest peaks in the range, including Pico Aneto, which remains snow-capped most of the year.
Rhône River
The winding blue line of the Rhône valley, one of Europe's major waterways, cutting through the French landscape.
Swiss Alps
On clear days, the distant but unmistakable peaks of the Bernese Oberland and the Swiss Alps dominate the horizon.
Sit on the right for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and capture the best photos of the Pyrenees. This side is essential for spotting the Alps on the horizon about 20 minutes before landing. Watch for the Rhine River as it marks the border between France, Germany, and Switzerland near the airport.

Serra de Montsant
Rugged limestone cliffs and the famous vineyards of the Priorat region as you head toward the border.

Dramatic high-altitude views of the western mountain peaks and the transition into French territory.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscapes and rolling plateaus of south-central France.
The Vosges

The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm glow of the setting sun over the French countryside. It provides better views of the inland Spanish terrain and the French city of Mulhouse during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the Gorges de l'Ardèche if the flight path tracks slightly west.
