Balearic Islands
Clear views of Mallorca and Ibiza while crossing the Mediterranean.
Grand Erg Occidental
The iconic sea of sand with massive orange dunes in northern Algeria.
Gulf of Guinea
The transition from the Nigerian coast into the Atlantic Ocean.
Congo River Delta
The massive sediment plume where the Congo River meets the Atlantic.
Luanda Coastline
A scenic approach over the Ilha do Cabo and the Luanda bay area.
This side is ideal for sunset views over the Atlantic. The highlight is the Congo River mouth near the end of the flight; watch for the brown sediment pushing far into the blue ocean. Ensure a window seat away from the wing for the best desert dune photography.

Brussels Cityscape
Views of the European capital and the Soignes Forest shortly after takeoff.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the horizon.
Tassili n'Ajjer
Surreal rock forests and sandstone arches of the Algerian Sahara.
Congo Basin
Endless canopy of the world's second-largest rainforest across Central Africa.
Inner Congo River

Sit here for early morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. The desert formations of Tassili n'Ajjer are best seen mid-flight under high sun to capture the shadows of the rock forests. Watch for the deep green transition of the Sahel into the Congo Basin.
