Costa Daurada
Beautiful views of the Spanish coastline and the Balearic Sea immediately after departure.
Andalusian Ranges
Potential views of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada peaks if the flight path tracks across Southern Spain.
Atlantic Horizon
Hours of stunning ocean views with changing light patterns over the deep blue waters.
Caribbean Coastline
Glimpses of the northern South American coastline and tropical waters before entering Colombian airspace.
Bogota Plateau
The final descent offers a spectacular view of the sprawling city nestled against the Andes mountains.
Departure usually offers views of the Mediterranean. On the arrival into Bogota, the left side is generally better for seeing the urban expanse. Since this is a westbound flight, the sun will be to the south (left side) during the day, so keep the window shade partially closed during the mid-Atlantic stretch to stay cool.

Montserrat Massif
The distinctive jagged peaks of the Montserrat mountain range visible shortly after takeoff from Barcelona.
Central Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain, featuring a patchwork of agricultural fields and ancient towns.
Tagus River
If the flight path crosses central Portugal, you can see the wide estuaries leading toward the Atlantic.
Magdalena River
The winding path of Colombia's principal river as it cuts through the lush tropical valleys.
Andean Ridges
Dramatic views of the sharp green ridges of the Eastern Cordillera during the descent into El Dorado.
Choose the right side if you prefer views of the Spanish interior and the rugged Colombian river valleys. During the final approach to BOG, the right side often looks out over the rural outskirts and steep mountain slopes rather than the city center. This side is also better for avoiding direct glare from the sun during much of the flight.
