English Channel & Brittany
Aerial views of the western edge of the English Channel and the rugged coastline of Brittany, France.
Picos de Europa
Dramatic limestone massifs in Northern Spain that are often visible after crossing the Bay of Biscay.
Seville and the Guadalquivir
The winding river and historic layout of Seville are frequently visible as you traverse Andalusia.
High Atlas Mountains
A stunning panorama of the snow-capped Atlas peaks appearing on the horizon during the descent into Marrakech.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is superior for landmarks like the Picos de Europa and the approach to the Atlas Mountains. Approximately 20 minutes before landing, look out for the contrast between the green plains and the red earth of the Marrakech basin.

Galician Rias
The deep, fjord-like inlets of the Northwest Spanish coast as the plane crosses from sea to land.
Portuguese Coastline
Distant views of the Atlantic-facing cliffs and the mouth of the Tagus River near Lisbon.
Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly spectacular during late-afternoon or evening sunset flights.
Moroccan Coastal Plains
The transition from the blue Atlantic to the arid, golden-hued coastal plains of Morocco.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. While it features more water than land, it offers excellent views of the Portuguese coastline if the flight path is slightly further west. Keep an eye out for the Casablanca skyline in the distance as you head south.
