Brussels Skyline
Catch a glimpse of the Atomium and the urban density of the Belgian capital shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
Observe the ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain of south-central France.
Eastern Pyrenees
High-altitude views of the border mountains, often snow-capped even into late spring.
Costa Azahar
The 'Orange Blossom Coast' unfolds as the plane descends along the Mediterranean shoreline.
Albufera Natural Park
During the final approach from the south, see the massive freshwater lagoon and rice paddies surrounding Valencia.
Choose the left side for afternoon or sunset flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The approach into VLC often loops over the sea, providing a spectacular view of the Port of Valencia and the City of Arts and Sciences. Keep an eye out for the transition from the green landscapes of Wallonia to the arid, red-earthed plains of eastern Spain.

Loire Valley
The meandering rivers and historic châteaux of central France are visible during the cruise phase.
Central Pyrenees
View the highest peaks of the range, including Aneto, as the flight path crosses the Spanish border.
Iberian System
Witness the rugged limestone formations and deep gorges of the Serranía de Cuenca in eastern Spain.
The Valencian Huerta
Thousands of orange groves create a vibrant green patchwork quilt as the plane nears the runway.
The right side is excellent for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. It provides the most dramatic views of the highest Pyrenean peaks. As you enter Spanish airspace, look for the stark contrast in terrain and the traditional white-walled villages scattered across the dry inland hills.
