Rabat Cityscape
Excellent views of Morocco's capital and the Bou Regreg river shortly after takeoff from Casablanca.
The Rock of Gibraltar
The legendary limestone monolith is usually visible as the aircraft crosses into the Iberian Peninsula.
Seville & Andalusia
Views of the winding Guadalquivir river and the historic urban layout of Seville in southern Spain.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular high-altitude crossing of the mountain border between Spain and France, often snow-capped.
Garonne Valley Vineyards
The world-famous vineyards of the Bordeaux region become clearly visible during the final minutes of flight.
The Right Side is essential for mountain lovers; the Pyrenees crossing is the flight's highlight. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are breathtaking. For evening flights, the right side captures the warm light hitting the red roofs of Spanish towns. Try to identify the 'Rock' shortly after the flight leaves the Moroccan coast near Tangier.

Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the rugged Moroccan and Spanish coastlines throughout the first half of the journey.
Strait of Gibraltar
A panoramic view of the Atlantic entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and busy shipping lanes.
Costa de la Luz
The golden beaches of the Huelva province in Spain are visible as the flight enters European airspace.
Landes Forest
Vast stretches of maritime pine forests appearing as a deep green carpet during the descent into France.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the deep blue of the Atlantic to the silver-blue of the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out for the Arcachon Bay sand dunes just before landing if the approach path comes from the west.
