Breathtaking views of the Sagrada Familia, Agbar Tower, and the grid-like Eixample district during climb-out.
Costa Brava
The rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia with its turquoise coves and rocky cliffs stretching north.
Eastern Pyrenees
Deep valleys and high-altitude terrain, often including views toward the Principality of Andorra.
Loire Valley Chateaux
Distant views of the famous valley of kings and its historic estates as you pass near Orléans.
Paris Silhouette
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense are visible to the east during descent.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the golden hour lighting over the French countryside. This side is specifically better for spotting the Paris skyline in the distance as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Beauvais. Look out for the Mediterranean coastline immediately after takeoff if departing toward the east.
