Costa Blanca
Stunning views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline immediately following takeoff from Alicante.
The Alps
In high visibility, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps appear on the distant horizon.
Gulf of Lion
The sweeping azure curve of the French coast as the flight transitions from Spain to Central Europe.
Warsaw Skyline
The modern skyscrapers and the iconic Palace of Culture are often visible during the final approach to Modlin.
Vistula River
The winding 'Wisลa' river serves as a natural navigator leading the plane directly into the Modlin area.
Sit on the right for the best coastal views departing Spain. During winter, the low sun angle provides dramatic shadows over the Alps in the distance. When landing at WMI, the right side usually provides the best view of the Vistula river valley and the distant Warsaw city center if the approach is from the south.
