Bay of Biscay
Watch the dramatic transition from the French mainland to the deep blue waters of the Atlantic.
Picos de Europa
If the flight path hugs the western coast of Spain, these jagged limestone peaks are clearly visible.
Lisbon and the Tagus
On western flight corridors, the vast Tejo estuary and the bridges of Lisbon are iconic landmarks.
Gran Canaria Peaks
During the descent, witness the majestic Roque Nublo and the volcanic caldera in the center of the island.
Northern Shoreline
The plane typically banks around the north of the island, offering views of Las Palmas city and its beaches.
The right side is the prime choice for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. For the best view of Gran Canaria's rugged interior, choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the volcanic craters. Keep an eye out for the island of Madeira, which can sometimes be spotted about 30-40 minutes before arrival at LPA depending on the specific airway used.

Bremen City Center
Upon departure, enjoy views of the Weser Stadium and the historic old town if taking off to the south.
The Pyrenees
As you cross from France into Spain, look for the snow-capped central peaks of this massive mountain range.
Spanish Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain reveals an arid, golden landscape with unique agricultural patterns.
LPA Eastern Coastline
During the final approach, you will see the beaches of the eastern shore and the Gando Airbase.
The left side is excellent for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel south. Look out for the Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance as you pass southern Spain. During landing at LPA, this side provides a view of the Atlantic horizon and the cargo ships docked near the port.
