⛰️

Montserrat Massif

Distinctive jagged mountain peaks visible shortly after the initial climb from Barcelona.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Bird's-eye view of the snow-capped border between Spain and France.

🏖️

Dune du Pilat

The tallest sand dune in Europe located at the entrance of the Arcachon Bay.

🏝️

Charente-Maritime Islands

Clear views of Île d'Oléron and Île de Ré surrounded by the Atlantic waters.

🌊

Brittany Coastline

The rugged southern coast of Brittany including the Quiberon peninsula and Belle-Île.

Choose this side for the best coastal scenery. On evening flights, you will enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Look out for the white sand banks of the Arcachon basin roughly 45 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Barcelona Urban Grid

The iconic Eixample district layout and the Sagrada Família during departure.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

High-altitude views of the peaks near Andorra and the Ariège region.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

Vast stretches of world-famous wine-producing estates in the Garonne valley.

💧

Loire River Estuary

The wide mouth of France's longest river as it approaches the city of Nantes.

Lush green bocage and forest landscapes of the Brittany interior during descent.

Sit here if you prefer city views during takeoff. In winter, the morning sun illuminates the French countryside beautifully. Watch for the Garonne river crossing, which indicates you are halfway to Brest.
