Costa Blanca Coastline
Beautiful views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Spanish Mediterranean coast.
Valencia City
The distinct architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences is often visible as the plane tracks north.
French and Swiss Alps
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the high Alps are visible on the eastern horizon during the cruise over France.
Rhône River
The massive waterway of the Rhône flowing through Lyon and the surrounding industrial and agricultural heartland.
Rhine Gorge Castles
Historic German castles and the famous Lorelei rock as you maneuver through the Rhine-Hunsrück region.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Alps in the distance. During the descent into Hahn, keep your eyes peeled for the sharp loops of the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastal curve near Valencia.

Clear views of the historic Santa Bárbara Castle and the port area immediately after takeoff from ALC.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic aerial views of the highest peaks and glaciers of the Pyrenees mountain range as you cross the border.
Massif Central Volcanoes
The unique landscape of the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of dormant volcanic craters in central France.
Moselle Valley
Steep, terraced vineyards lining the winding Moselle River as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the rugged interior of the Spanish plateau and the specific volcanic cones of the Auvergne region in France. Look out for the Pyrenees roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight.
