Left Side Highlights

🗼

Parisian Outskirts

Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of Paris shortly after departing Beauvais.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain range dividing France and Spain, often snow-capped.

🏰

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain, dotted with historical towns and arid plains.

🌊

Strait of Gibraltar

The iconic meeting point of the Mediterranean and Atlantic, featuring a clear view of the Rock of Gibraltar.

⛰️

Rif Mountains

The rugged, green peaks of northern Morocco rising sharply as you enter African airspace.

Sit on the left for the most iconic landmarks. Watch for the Pyrenees roughly 45 minutes after takeoff and the Rock of Gibraltar near the two-hour mark. Morning flights offer the crispest mountain views before afternoon clouds form.

Right Side Highlights

🍷

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' with its winding river and glimpses of historic châteaux scattered across the landscape.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A view of the deep blue Atlantic waters to the west as you track south along the French coast.

Extremadura Landscapes

The wild, oak-dotted dehesas and rugged terrain of western Spain near the Portuguese border.

🌅

Atlantic Horizon

Endless ocean views that are particularly stunning during late afternoon or sunset flights.

🏖️

Moroccan Coastline

Detailed views of the Atlantic beaches and the coastal towns of Kenitra and Salé during the final descent.

The right side is perfect for sunset flights, providing a direct view of the sun setting over the Atlantic. During the final approach into Rabat, you will have a better view of the coastline and the breaking waves.
