Rif Mountains
The rugged, green-tinged peaks of Northern Morocco provide a dramatic start to the journey.
Balearic Sea
Sparkling turquoise waters as the flight crosses from the African continent toward mainland Europe.
Barcelona Skyline
A stunning perspective of the Catalan capital, including its famous grid-like urban planning and port.
French Riviera
Distant views of the glamorous Cote d'Azur and the southern French coastline.
The High Alps
A spectacular crossing of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, featuring glaciers and snow-capped 4,000-meter peaks.
Bavarian Lakes
Lush landscapes and deep blue lakes like Chiemsee or Starnberg as you approach Munich.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenery hunters. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps. The transition from the Mediterranean coast to the high mountains happens quickly, so remain alert about 45-60 minutes before arrival for the best Alpine views. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the Alps especially photogenic.

Atlantic Coastline
Catch views of the Casablanca shoreline and the expansive Atlantic Ocean immediately after takeoff.
Strait of Gibraltar
Look west to see the narrow gap between Morocco and Spain where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
Western Pyrenees
A distant but clear view of the rugged mountain peaks separating the Iberian Peninsula from France.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' shared by Switzerland, Germany, and Austria visible during the descent.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side offers better views of the open ocean and the western edges of the European mountain ranges. Keep an eye out for the Strait of Gibraltar about 30 minutes into the flight.
