Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the high Pyrenees mountains and provides the best angle for spotting the Rock of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean entrance during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Paris Silhouette

Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and the skyline of Paris shortly after takeoff from Beauvais.

🏰

Loire Valley

Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic chateaux scattered throughout the French countryside.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the highest snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.

🏜️

La Mancha Plains

The expansive, golden-hued landscapes and windmills of central Spain's plateau region.

⛰️

Rock of Gibraltar

The iconic limestone monolith standing guard at the eastern entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar.

🌍

The Rif Mountains

The rugged green and brown ridges of northern Morocco as you approach Tangier.

Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees. Approximately 15 minutes before landing, keep your eyes peeled for the Rock of Gibraltar appearing on the horizon. Morning flights provide excellent lighting for the French and Spanish landscapes without harsh glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Bay of Biscay

Views of the Atlantic coastline and the rugged cliffs of the Basque Country.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

The geometric patterns of the famous wine-producing regions of southwestern France.

🏖️

Costa de la Luz

The bright white sands and blue waters of the Spanish Atlantic coast near Cadiz.

🚢

Gibraltar Shipping Lanes

Massive cargo ships and tankers appearing like toys in one of the world's busiest maritime passages.

💡

Cape Spartel

The northwesternmost point of Africa where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.

This side is spectacular for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun dips over the Atlantic Ocean. It offers a clearer view of the 'meeting of the waters' at Cape Spartel just before the final turn into Tangier's airport.
